The middle school years are filled with a great deal of growth both physically and mentally. Students are experimenting with a wide range of activities, attempting to establish a direction for their lives. They are trying to figure out what they do well, and what they like to do. At Caravel Academy our middle school provides a wide range of classes, clubs, activities, sports and opportunities for students to explore and evaluate what is important for them as an individual. They are under the guidance of a dedicated staff that recognizes the special needs of a middle school student.


During the day students attend classes in math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, foreign language, and computer. They also participate in a revolving group of classes that includes music, health, physical education, library skills, art, and guidance. Chorus and band students have the option of attending these special classes in lieu of general music.


Our staff encourages students to reach their full potential by incorporating higher order thinking skills, student centered learning, collaboration, and critical thinking. Students are exposed to field trips including overnight visits and an onsite wetlands area.  Rooms are equipped with up to date technology and we have moved to a one to one computer environment for all 5th - 8th grade students, allowing teachers to incorporate 21st century skills.

SINCERELY,
