It's exciting to see students grow through learning and take advantage of unique opportunities, including orchestra, global studies, and maker space, or electives like STEAM, forensics, engineering, or creative writing.

The best part: our teachers get to truly know our students and are a constant source of support and encouragement. Our families play an active role in their child's education and our students thrive in a safe and caring environment.

Due to our small class sizes, our teachers can help students who need more assistance and offer greater challenges for those who are already excelling. Our teachers build real relationships with our students and provide personalized attention.

Our experienced teachers really know our students. Tutorial is available daily after school so students can meet with teachers to ask questions, gain guidance, and prepare for upcoming assessments.

Students are exposed to a broad range of opportunities during their Middle School years at Forsyth.

Beginning in fifth grade, students are required to take technology, visual art, vocal music, and PE in addition to the core courses of daily humanities, science, mathematics, and conversational Spanish (French and Mandarin Chinese become options in seventh grade).

Starting in sixth grade, they can play sports. In all middle school grades, students can participate in drama and clubs.
 
Beginning in seventh grade, in addition to core courses, students can focus on what they enjoy the most – whether that’s orchestra, PE, forensic science, creative writing, programming and digital design, visual art, or choir.
 
Each of these electives meets once a rotation. By the time they reach seventh and eighth grade, our students start to know what they like, and we give them the opportunities to explore their interests in greater depth. 

Our Middle School students are paired with buddies from the Upper School and Lower School as part of our school-wide mentoring program. This special bonding allows students to learn from older students and to be role models to younger students. 

Because middle school is a time when students are just discovering who they are and where they fit into the world, it’s important to have a positive culture. Our comprehensive character and guidance program teaches children to respect themselves and others and emphasizes positive behavior. We foster a community in which every child feels accepted and valued.

We believe it’s important for our Middle School students to reach beyond themselves. Our students have many opportunities to do service projects with younger and older students and be an active part of the larger community through spending meaningful time outside of the classroom.
