Students in Calhoun’s Middle School are seen and known for who they are. In this time of great intellectual, emotional and social change, Calhoun Middle Schoolers feel a sense of belonging that gives them the confidence to be agents of their own academic journeys.

Calhoun’s Middle School is full of discovery. Students are encouraged to ask why and dig deeper. Teachers continually seek ways to guide students beyond their comfort zones, and unlock new ways of learning.Middle School is a place where kids’ voices matter, and where meaningful learning happens as much in the in-between spaces as it does in the classroom. Our faculty take a holistic and immersive approach – embedding social-emotional skill development into their coursework. Students leave our Middle School as adaptable and resilient questioners, problem solvers, advocates and upstanders, bridge-builders and global citizens.
