Our middle school education is designed to empower students to construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world through individualized learning experiences. Students are encouraged to reflect on those experiences in a deeply caring environment where they are challenged, supported, and held accountable.

During these four years, students experience an interdisciplinary, project-based learning environment. Because middle school is a time of tremendous change physically, emotionally, and academically, we focus on the process of learning as much as the content that is learned.

Middle school students experience the following:

• Outdoor education

• Environmental science

• Humanities classes that integrate history and literature

• Creative writing

• Integrated math and science courses

• Technology as a tool and to enhance the learning experience

• Spanish language and culture

• Art, music, and character development classes

Middle School students are:

• Active participants in their own learning

• Critical and innovative thinkers

• Capable and motivated decision-makers

• Responsible leaders and mentors

• Compassionate and respectful members of the Selwyn community
