Middle School Approach

Self-Confidence Centers Westside's Middle School Program

Our supportive environment nurtures self-esteem while challenging students to understand themselves as individuals with unique learning styles.

We treat our classroom as a community, where students commit to their own learning and support their fellow scholars. Learning occurs both in and beyond the walls of the classroom, in our neighborhood, our city, and on the outdoor & overnight expeditions our students take.

The Middle School teaching team implements an integrated, project based curriculum across math, science, humanities, and world languages that engages students' imaginations, matures their critical thinking skills and encourages participation in the global community.

Sharing the campus with Westside's Early and Lower school provides authentic leadership opportunities for the Middle School students.

Our students will leave their experience at Westside prepared for the high school of their choice, and ready to take on the challenges and adventures their futures hold.
