Building Independence and Confidence for Grades 6–8
St. Mary’s Middle School serves students in sixth through eight grade, by creating opportunities for independence, deeper learning, and stronger faith formation.
Core Curriculum
Our middle school curriculum builds on a strong academic foundation while challenging students to think critically and grow independently. Students study language arts, math, history, geography, science, and theology, supported by daily physical education/health, and middle school band or choir. Ongoing assessments, including NWEA and DIBELS, help guide instruction and ensure students receive the support or enrichment they need to succeed.
Faith Formation
Faith formation remains an essential part of middle school life at St. Mary’s. Students participate in weekly mass and have opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration, encouraging reflection and spiritual growth. Middle students also have the opportunity to participate in prayer services and interact with students in the grade school.
