Middle School
Activating the Joy of Learning
Middle School students explore ideas, challenge thinking, and practice self-advocacy while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Daily activities and gatherings focused on social-emotional learning help them build knowledge, skills, and passions in a safe, thriving environment.
Why ASH Middle School Stands Out
- Small, focused classes
- World-class educators
- Electives and after-school activities to explore passions
- Math and science performance above global averages
- State-of-the-art facilities for science, arts, and athletics
- Daily activities supporting social-emotional learning and well-being
Middle School Curriculum
Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the ASH Middle School empowers students to shape their own learning journeys, offering a range of options including classroom learning, experiential learning, project-based learning, and fieldwork.
All Middle School students take core subjects including Language Arts, Mathematics, Modern Languages, Science, Social Studies, and Physical Education and Health. In addition, a wide range of electives is available to every student, such as Orchestra, Band, Choir, Robotics, Coding, Design Technology, Home Economics, Drama, and Visual Arts.
Meaningful STEM Experiences
In Middle School, students deepen their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through a hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum. Real-world challenges and projects—like Shark Tank and Design Cycle problem-solving—encourage creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing students to apply their learning in meaningful ways.
Choice & Voice For All Middle School Students
Middle School is a dynamic, student-centered environment that promotes leadership, collaboration, and positive change. Through events like Color House, Project Week, and student-led assemblies, students build confidence, creativity, and teamwork while discovering how their actions impact others—fostering responsibility and a strong sense of community.
The Arts Ignite Creativity in Middle School
All Middle School students dive into The Arts, exploring music, theater, and visual arts in ways that spark imagination and self-expression. These hands-on experiences empower students to become bold, thoughtful creators, discovering their unique voice along the way. Through experimentation, collaboration, and performance, students don’t just learn techniques—they explore who they are and what they can achieve.
