Middle School

At City School we care about the whole person: academic achievement, character development, and living in community. As such, we have developed a document that outlines some goals for our graduates. An ideal graduating student:

• possesses a strong foundation in academic skills

• serves others in a diverse community

• possesses a well-regulated will

• adapts & perseveres when challenged

• enjoys God & His kingdom.

Middle Schoolers have the opportunity to participate in a rich and diverse academic experience:

• We read and memorize the Bible and pray together every day.

• We “set a feast” of rich, soul-nourishing materials for students to encounter.

• We practice delight in literature, reason, history, art, music, poetry, and the natural world.

• We learn communally during class times: prioritizing narrations, discussions, and explanations by students over direct teaching by the teacher or tech-­enhanced learning.

• We affirm differences of cultural background, income level, religious tradition, academic, emotional, and physical talents and abilities, and future schooling and vocational paths.
