Middle School

Each spring our Middle School engages in an entire week of Project-Based Learning entitled Spring Academy.  Project-Based Learning (PBL) is an educational approach where students actively explore real-world problems and challenges through hands-on projects. This method encourages learners to investigate and solve complex questions, often integrating multiple subjects, such as science, math, and social studies. For middle school students, PBL is particularly beneficial because it fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity during a pivotal stage in their cognitive and social development. By engaging in meaningful projects, students connect classroom learning to practical applications, making lessons more engaging and memorable. Additionally, PBL builds essential skills such as teamwork, time management, and self-directed learning, preparing students for future academic and professional success.
