At Shipley, we understand that Middle School is a time of significant change for adolescents. They are developing physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually, and we provide the appropriate environment to nurture this growth. When guidance and empathy fit into the context of an academically challenging curriculum, our Middle School students are able to get to know themselves as learners, and as people, through critical thinking and creative exploration.
Our Middle School curriculum is developed with the adolescent brain and learning styles in mind, serving not only as a transition between the foundation of Lower School and the rigorous college preparation of Upper School, but also as an important academic journey of its own.
