Middle School

Our Middle School program helps students prepare for their transition into high school. The method of teaching evolves to incorporate the style, sensibilities and fun that’s appropriate for pre-and early teens. We continue to focus on solidifying each student’s knowledge base by teaching the skills necessary to analyze, synthesize and evaluate information. We also emphasize learning the life-skills necessary to start the path to more independent living that will be a core part of the curriculum in Beacon Day School’s High School and Transition programs.
