The cornerstone of our Middle School is the incorporation of the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of gifted students in a state of transition.  Our program provides optimum indivualization of instruction for an age group characterized by wide variablility among students.  The Middle School curriculum includes English literature, composition, social studies, foreign language, mathematics, computer study, science, fine arts, physical education and interscholastic sports.  The school also provides opportunities for advanced work at the Upper School level.
