Middle School

The culminating cycle at BHMS is Middle School, a two-year sequence, including Grade 7 and Grade 8, of thematically linked Humanities, Science, and Social Growth units. Students explore historical and scientific themes and their connections to current events and their own lives. As in the Upper Elementary program, the curriculum follows a trimester schedule, and the units are further broken down into six-week cycles. At this plane of development, students are better able to reason abstractly and begin to construct their adult selves. The more complex units of study reflect this change.
