Middle School Curriculum
Oakwood considers its Middle School program to be a three-year journey during which time we hope all students will develop a sense of academic purpose and an awareness of the needs of others. Students travel this course at different rates and with variations in their routes. However, we hope all students will emerge from our Middle School program well-prepared to handle the rigors and realities of Upper School.
Accordingly, the Middle School academic curriculum at Oakwood is designed as a three-year program. Beginning in 6th grade, students experience a logical progression of content in each subject area. Skill development and expectations for responsibility and independent work increase each year. Capable and committed students have been very successful joining our Middle School in 7th and even 8th grade, but they must realize that they are coming in "mid-stream."
