Middle School Academic Program

MIDDLE SCHOOL

The Middle School challenges students in a nurturing environment to become independent thinkers. The vision for the middle school program is to provide a broad range of opportunities to address the unique needs of the pre-adolescent/adolescent child. Students transition to a rigorous academic schedule, requiring personal time management and responsibility.

A strong advisory program becomes the touchstone for both students and parents in the Middle School. Each student is matched with an advisor for a full year and meetings are conducted regularly throughout the week. The advisor serves as an advocate for the student and acts as a liaison between the parents and the School. Students learn to set goals, recognize and demonstrate character traits valued by the CSN community, and develop leadership skills that can be used both in the School and the community at-large.
