Middle School

Curriculum

Our Middle School program at MSP is an interdisciplinary curriculum with real-world applications designed to provide a strong academic bridge to high school. In our student-centered environment, time is allotted for each individual to work independently and to participate in collaborative group projects.

The program includes differentiated instruction in mathematics, grammar, literature, speech, social studies, economics, physical and life sciences, computer literacy, physical and health education, as well as opportunities in world languages and other elective courses.

Students participate in two internships, one in a Montessori classroom and the other with a community business. Adventure trips and service learning augment an academic environment that engages students and fosters character development, communication, involvement, and commitment. Learning occurs in an inquisitive, cooperative, and nurturing climate.

Past internships at community businesses, oriented by student interest, have included:

• Legal and court offices
• Medical fields
• Investment and accounting firms
• Human resource and community planning institutions
• Architectural and engineering firms
• Food and customer service organizations
