PRIME TRIPS

PRIME trips are an integral and mandatory part of the Middle School program. This off-campus activities-based program offers students the opportunity to extend the curriculum beyond the classroom walls in exciting ways in a new environment. They are also able to develop new friendships, try new experiences, and build self-confidence.

Each PRIME Trip provides an opportunity to fulfill a variety of the goals listed below, although each program does not necessarily cover all the objectives.

Develop a sense of personal involvement and fulfillment and be part of a community working together to learn new skills and sharing a common experience.
Deepen relationships between students and their peers, and students and faculty, as they work together in a situation that is new, challenging, and exciting for all.
Express and extend their individual talents and abilities and have these recognized in a less traditional non-classroom environment.
Develop a fuller understanding and appreciation of the natural environment; become comfortable in “living with nature”; develop positive attitudes and approaches for preserving and conserving natural environments.
Develop the attitudes and skills associated with self-reliance, especially for those students in an outdoor situation; develop self-confidence and self-esteem through activities that are either new to them or that they have the opportunity to develop and improve.
Develop an understanding of their own capabilities and limitations as well as sensitivity to the capabilities and limitations of others, through a variety of experiences, especially whilst exploring the outdoors.

MS Wellness

Once per week our MS department holds their Wellness Wednesdays. On this day they have the option of choosing one of the four activities; Meditation, Yoga, Walking and Stretching. This is because we deeply understand the importance of wellbeing when it comes to the students' very critical developmental stage.

A Day in the Life of a Middle School Student

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is how individuals acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. SEL focuses on developing competencies in five key areas:

1. Self-awareness is the ability to Recognize one's emotions, thoughts, and values and understand how they influence behavior.

2. **Self-management**: Effectively managing stress, controlling impulses, and motivating oneself to set and achieve goals.

3. **Social awareness**: Understanding and empathizing with others from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

4. Relationship skills: SEL equips individuals with the tools to establish and maintain healthy and rewarding relationships. It emphasizes communication, cooperation, and conflict resolution, all crucial elements in our personal and professional lives.

5. **Responsible decision-making**: Making ethical, constructive choices about personal and social behavior.

SEL is not just a tool, but a beacon of hope in education and human development. It promotes mental health, well-being, and academic success by helping individuals navigate the complexities of their personal and social lives, leading to a brighter and more fulfilling future.

We begin the day with our daily grade-level Advisory program. The purpose of this Advisory program is to build relationships between students with each other, as well as with their teachers. It is also to develop the students’ social and emotional well being.

This program involves grade-level students coming together in small groups of no more than 10, to have activities and conversations about social justice, and about anything current that impacts them as students.
