Middle School at Harvey
It's not too early, but it can be too late.
The middle school years are a pivotal time in a young person's life, a time to be challenged, engaged, supported, and excited about new experiences and educational opportunities. These are important years, focused on acquiring the skills and gaining the confidence to meet the challenges of high school.
OUR HEARTS STRENGTHEN OUR MINDS
Our Middle School faculty are credentialed middle school teachers with advanced degrees in their field, and some hold doctorates.
Our curriculum seeks to:
- foster a love of learning
- create an engaging learning environment
- inspire students to reach their potential
Interdisciplinary work is an important aspect of the Middle School curriculum that allows learning to take place across multiple disciplines as students study relevant themes and topics.
Our approach to instruction includes:
- critical exploration
- project-based learning
- inquiry-based instruction
- service learning
Harvey middle schoolers move through history, English, math, science, world language, art, music, theater, and electives. Critical thinking, writing fluency, effective communication, public speaking, collaboration, organization, and time management are reinforced in all areas.
All students in grades 6-8 participate in a dedicate Study Skills course that meets several times each week. This course is designed to help students build the foundational habits necessary for a successful middle school experience. Through direct instruction and hands-on practice, students develop essential skills in organization, time management, note-taking, test preparation, and effective study strategies.
"Harvey Middle School is a warm, nurturing environment where everyone knows each other. The teachers know who you are, what you're capable of, and they're there to help you achieve your own best potential."
Juliet, Harvey Middle School Parent
