Social and Emotional Development: Counselors work closely with students to guide them through peer interactions, self-identity exploration, and emotional intelligence.
Exploration of Interests: Students have the chance to explore a variety of subjects and extracurricular activities, helping them discover their passions and strengths.
Academic Readiness: Middle school prepares students with the skills and strategies necessary to succeed in high school and beyond.
