Middle School
In the Middle School program, we help students meet their full potential and prepare for high school.
Featuring student-centered teaching, and a highly engaging and active curriculum that addresses both spiritual and intellectual growth, the academic program fosters in each student a lifelong love of learning and results in a strong academic foundation. Students at WLA are known and loved by dedicated faculty and staff who have a passion for ensuring that a strong foundation is being established in the early years of education.
Students study core subjects of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies with their teachers through a variety of age-appropriate learning experiences and hands-on activities, while specialists enrich the learning and development of students in the co-curricular areas of Spanish, music, art, robotics, technology, and P.E.
Exceptional Teaching Starts with Understanding Students' Needs
We know that no two students learn in the same way, so we individualize our program to help each student find success. In the classroom, teachers utilize creative approaches so that students not only learn conceptually, but they also learn how to learn effectively. Through our small class sizes, engaging teacher/student relationships, and genuine concern for each student, we emphasize social/emotional growth through personal relationships, academic excellence through critical thinking, and commitment to community through leadership and extra-curricular opportunities
Classes are taught using different teaching techniques such as small-group discussions; lecturing/note-taking; or assigning and supervising collaborative, hands-on projects, all of which give students a well-rounded foundation upon which they can build successful futures.
Partnering with Parents
We believe that parent involvement is critical to the success of our students. Our faculty members and administrators are committed to partner with our Middle School students and their families as they travel through these interesting, and often challenging, years.
