GRADES 6-8


Middle School life marks an increase in the opportunities to test their intellectual powers through algebra, expository and creative writing and speaking, as well as deeper forays into Ancient, European and American history. Organized sports and frequent field trips allow boys to retain the adventurous dimension of the early years and provide increased opportunities for the peer friendships so valued by the developing adolescent.
