Middle School Instruction

Middle school is an exciting period of development for our students – academically, socially, and physically. Students are learning and growing at a rapid rate, and they require care, attention, and support to prepare for success in high school and beyond. Our Middle Schools

In middle school, students continue learning in the academic core standards in Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science, with additional requirements in PE and Health. Students also get to pursue interests in various elective options and programs so they can explore, grow, and learn about the world around us while collaborating with others who have similar interests.

Our schools follow the Oregon State Standards for all content areas.

• English Language Art State Standards
• Math State Standards
• Science Standards
• Social Studies Standards
• Health Education Standards
