Middle School Teachers

Middle school is a particularly sensitive time for learners. The physical, social and cognitive changes that students go through in the early teen years are critical. In addition, middle school is an extremely important academic preparatory time for high school. Navigating the needs of our middle school students requires teachers who are committed to mentoring, encouraging intrinsic motivation and challenging students to reach beyond perceived limitations.
