Academics
Middle school years can be challenging for students as they face intellectual, emotional and physical shifts during this time. At Kirby Hall, we provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to learn while developing and growing in so many other aspects of life. Our middle school students continue to engage in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to provide them the support and tools they need to navigate through these adolescent school years. We also make sure their schedules still contain classes in the Fine Arts (art and drama/music) and P.E. Middle school students have the opportunity to start participating in various electives such as Culinary in Spanish, Filmmaking, Robotics, and Programming. KHS believes that it’s important to be a part of the community and builds in Community Service for our middle school students so they can grow into community leaders and see their impact of helping others. Their End of the Year Field Trip will take students somewhere to explore new surroundgings and experience hands-on learning that mirrors experiences from the classroom.
In Middle School, we will work closely with your student to provide guidance on selecting the best option for high school whether it be continuing in another private school setting or selective public or charter school environment.
