The Middle School

SSIS strives to provide a progressive program with increasing student responsibility for their own achievement as students progress through grades K - 12. The independent learning strategies emphasized in the SSIS elementary program prepare students for the increasing
demands of grades 6 - 12.

An integral component at the middle school is a daily advisory class. Our advisory class is built on the idea that every young adolescent should have at least one adult to act as a mentor and advisor to provide academic, social and personal guidance. This program promotes meaningful student-teacher, peer and community relationships.

In the middle school, good time management skills and personal reflection on assignment feedback are important factors leading to academic success. Many assignments will require that students develop timelines and completion strategies that will provide balance to their daily workload.
