Academic Studies
Our Middle School faculty works as an interdisciplinary team made up of science, math, humanities, Hebrew, and Judaic Studies. The team works together to create a dynamic curriculum that is exploratory and challenging, incorporating student-generated questions and concerns. Curriculum is guided by Common Core Standards to determine age-appropriate content and skills. The middle school team develops these basic concepts and skills into student-centered, inquiry-based units. Below are a few examples of our interdisciplinary units.
Grade Six

Grade Seven
Essential Question: How does one’s perspective impact the telling of history?
Grade Eight
