Throughout Saint Rose’s middle school program, students participate in individual and group activities that promote intrinsic motivation and creative teamwork – both necessary for the 21st-century workplace. They are challenged to think creatively, develop problem-solving strategies, utilize individual and group strengths to produce their best work and treat each other with Christian Spirit.
Students develop independence as they advance from a self-contained classroom (one classroom/one teacher for most subjects) to moving to classes according to a bell schedule and learning from a variety of teachers and specialists. Personal lockers are a special privilege for our middle schoolers. Students are responsible for keeping track of their nightly assignments as “Teacher Weekly Updates” become a thing of the past.
