MIDDLE SCHOOL

The middle school works hand-in-hand with the elementary and high school, nurturing the maturing students and preparing them for high school. The Study Buddy program pairs a middle school student with an elementary student, which gives the older student someone to mentor and encourage. The middle school program keeps the students in a very close family setting, unifying the classes. The eighth grade highlights their year by going on an outdoor education trip every year to Camp Wawona, an Adventist retreat center in the Yosemite Valley.
