Overview
Building on the foundations of the Primary School
We know that adolescence is a challenging time for students, so our Middle School focuses on the integration of intellectual and social skills, as well as competitive sports.
The Middle School curriculum builds on the basics learned in Primary School, allowing students to explore the higher-level thinking that results from the mastery of those skills. At the same time, the Middle School’s learning focus serves as preparation for the High School by promoting responsibility, respect, and self-reliance.
The Middle School day includes many subjects, including art, piano, math, science, literature, foreign language and others. Sports Development classes and education classes meet every day.
