MIDDLE SCHOOL

A student’s Peak School years are a time of exploration, discovery, and questioning. In these significant years, Peak School seeks to capitalize on the wonders of the age, to foster a student’s movement from the concrete to the conceptual, to challenge students to go beyond expectations, and to provide a safe environment in which to question, to learn, and to grow.

Academic Program

For Grades 6 and 7, students engage in a comprehensive academic program that covers English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science, Social Studies (with Mandarin offered in Grade 6 or 7), Computer Studies/Science/Robotics, Religious Studies, and Physical Education.

In addition, students are encouraged to develop effective organizational and study habits, helping them grow into confident, self-reliant, and successful learners.

Student Life

The Middle School offers a caring environment coupled with an appropriately rigorous curriculum that is designed to provide the information, processes, and skills with which reflective decisions can be made.
In a nurturing and supportive atmosphere, our students begin to embrace learning as a lifelong pursuit, to use inquiry as a means to discover and explore what truly inspires them, to use the print and digital resources available in a creative and progressive way, to deepen the value of effective communication and authentic relationships, to understand the necessity of attaining fluency in other modern languages, to explore the possibilities of extracurricular activities, and to recognize that increased freedom and independence come with heightened responsibilities.

Learning Support Program

Beyond having instruction differentiated within the classroom, students who require extra support or need additional strategies and interventions receive assistance in a number of ways including After School Academic Support, our Learning Support Program or individualized tutoring. Peak School also offers a content-based English and Chines as an Additional Language Program to assist students in acquiring both conversational and academic language.

Extracurricular

One of our core beliefs is that all students should have the opportunity to participate fully in a wide range of activities that interest them. Therefore, practice and performance schedules have been organized so that students can choose to participate in Fine Arts and Sports and other various activities.
