Middle School (5th - 8th)

United Friends School is thrilled to announce our Private Independent Middle School for grades 5-8, where we passionately nurture students academically, emotionally, and spiritually!

Our dynamic program includes grade-specific classes and exciting blended 5th/6th and 7/8th grade classes, inspiring collaboration and peer learning across all subjects, from Math and Science to Humanities and co-curricular activities.

Older students are empowered to mentor their younger peers, cultivating leadership skills and a vibrant sense of community. With our engaging "Morning Meeting" advisory time, we foster personal connections while equipping students with essential study skills like organization, time management, problem-solving, and self-discipline.

We dive into stimulating topics like current events, social justice, and Quaker principles. As a proud Quaker school, we emphasize dialogue, reflection, and inquiry, igniting curiosity and critical thinking in every learner.

Our inquiry-driven environment encourages vibrant collaboration students in grades 5 through 8, promoting idea sharing and thoughtful discussions. The Quakerism class deepens our understanding of the school's values, ensuring that students excel academically, build strong relationships, and grow into thoughtful, engaged individuals!
