Middle school is a crucial phase in a child's development. Hence, we place a premium on enhancing self-esteem and providing avenues for teamwork and collaboration within and beyond the classroom. Our ultimate objective is to mold all students into leaders and engaged members of their communities. We instill leadership qualities in our teachings and foster active citizenship throughout the year. Events such as college and career day, personal finance instruction, an overnight team-building retreat, and leadership programs are examples of activities that reinforce these traits.
The middle school program at Bethlehem offers a dynamic curriculum that caters to various learning styles. It builds upon the foundation established in the elementary program, emphasizing holistic development in all aspects, including physical, spiritual, social, emotional, and academic growth, to provide an excellent education for our students.
At Bethlehem, we cherish the uniqueness of each child and endeavor to address their individual needs. Our educators strive to tailor their lessons, foster meaningful connections, and cultivate an atmosphere where students relish learning and can triumph. Our small class sizes, favorable teacher-student ratios, and warm family environment aid in our pursuit of providing personalized attention to every student.
Middle school students are educated in a departmentalized environment, where they rotate from class to class to learn from specialized teachers according to their course schedule. The curriculum integrates diverse teaching methodologies such as active learning, technology integration, and STEM-focused (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) lessons, which equip our students with the necessary skills to succeed in higher education, professional endeavors, and an ever-evolving world.
