The middle school curriculum serves as a transition between elementary school and high school. Students continue the rigorous Core Knowledge-based curriculum in Language Arts and Social Studies. Students also continue to build on the solid math foundation created in elementary school through the Singapore Math curriculum.

For Science, middle school students transition to lab-based science classes in Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science.
