Our Middle School

Designed test to stimulate the intellectual and social capacities of our fifth through eighth graders, the new Middle School building opened in January 2005.

This exciting new building is part of the academic quadrangle formed by our recently completed Science and Technology Center and gives our middle schoolers the space they need for their intellect, energy, enthusiasm, and creativity to flourish. Highlights include:

• Eleven spacious classrooms just for middle school use
• Dedicated computer laboratory
• Library/Media Research Center with areas for both serious academic inquiry and pleasure reading
• Multi-Purpose room that accommodates the entire middle school for morning meeting, assemblies, and special events
• Faculty and administrative office space
• Common areas on each floor for informal meetings and socializing
• An elevator
• Ample locker space
• Middle school art classroom and kiln

Cumulatively, these features concentrate virtually all academic middle school activities in one building, minimizing time spent passing from class to class, and promoting the communal life and cohesion of our Middle School. At the same time, middle schoolers feel part of the larger Masters School community when they move to Strayer Hall for music classes, eat lunch in the Cameron Mann Dining Hall, and attend all-school meetings in the theatre.
