Academics & Arts
Middle School (Grades 6-8)
Grades 6-8 girls at Laurel
learn by doing
, love
choice
and rise to creative
challenges
.
You need only step into the North Wing of our Lyman Campus building to sense the bustling energy of budding scientists, artists, engineers, writers and thinkers diving deep into their learning.
The Grades 6-8 experience at Laurel is based on the work of Laurel's Center for Research for Girls on how girls learn best.
Experiential learning balances time-honored traditions, and strategies are tailored to each girl as she finds and develops her voice.
They
create and conduct experiments
in science, they
build and draw models
to visualize concepts in math, they
memorize and act out scenes
from Shakespearean plays, and they
investigate and debate
constitutional issues.
