Our intermediate school serves students in 3rd through 5th grade and focuses on fostering confidence and curiousity through our diverse curriculum. Our 3rd and 4th graders are grouped together for learning, while our 5th graders are taught separately in an effort to help them gradually build the skills that will help them successfully transition to middle school. Our youngest students benefit significantly from being mentored by our older students, and our 5th graders are also included in advisory groups that offer one-on-one support and guidance from a faculty member throughout the year.
