Middle School
Gatewood’s Middle School consists of grades six through eight. Because these are important transitional years for students, the curriculum and other activities are designed for the special needs of young adolescents. Middle school teachers continue the close contact of the younger years while encouraging students to become accountable for their individual decisions. In addition to the core subjects of English, literature, mathematics, social studies and science, Middle School students enjoy a variety of enrichment courses, including physical education, Bible class for 8th grade, weekly chapel and electives that change each year.
The Middle School formalizes the traits of trust, respect for the property of others, and integrity begun in the Lower School with the implementation of the Honor Code. Small class size allows students to participate in a variety of exciting trips and activities that combine academic skills as well as provide opportunities for positive social interaction.
