Upper School | 7-8
DEVELOPING WELL-ROUNDED SCHOLARS
Grades 7-8
Upper School students begin to use reason and logic as they master concepts drawn from what they have learned in earlier grades. The curriculum also increases in rigor, as they go deeper into academic subjects, and students learn the art of dialogue in seminar-style courses. As they mature, opportunities for mentorship and leadership emerge, equipping our students for the challenges and responsibilities that come with entering 9th grade.
