Middle
Grades
In the middle grades (6-8), students are challenged to grapple with increasingly complex real-world problems across all their subject areas while developing the collaboration and leadership skills that will be critical in the upper grades. Our program is designed to push students outside of their academic comfort zones while providing steadfast social-emotional support through the changes of adolescence. We emphasize:
1
Deep engagement in both English and Portuguese across subject areas
2
Academic mentorship and social-emotional support through the Deans Program
3
An inquiry- and project-based approach in science and the humanities

An Integrated Brazilian Program
Global scope meets local focus
The middle grades science program focuses on foundational principles in earth sciences, chemistry, physics, and biology, with a strong emphasis on experimentation. Students gain experience applying the scientific method and techniques to "real-world" contexts, where they are challenged to understand problems and opportunities in an interdisciplinary way.
