Middle School Academics

Middle school is a time of constant change, which can be tough for students to navigate. We work to support students and families through this difficult time of adolescence. We aim to guide and challenge students so that their problems become growth opportunities.

In middle school, students move out of the safety of the self-contained classroom and into the world of multiple teachers and classes. Add to that the fact that middle school students are trying to figure out how they fit in, deal with peer pressure, and wrestle with issues such as self-esteem, disappointment, and rejection. During this time, so many things are changing in their lives.

At GVCS Broadfording middle school students do change classes and have different teachers, like in other schools, but it’s in an environment where teachers are readily available to help students track through all these changes. We don’t want to eliminate all problems for our middle school students because we believe problems also provide growth opportunities. However, we do want to be available to support students and families through this difficult time of adolescence.
