The Perfect Setting for That Critical Time of a Student’s Life!
The Middle School years (7th and 8th grade) form a critical transition period, from a student competent in the basics of reading, writing and mathematics to a student launched into more serious academic study. At this age we focus not only on raising the standards of those basic tools learned earlier, but also helping our students become more independent learners with increased understanding of how what they learn in school integrates with and relates to real life.
Mastery of the Basics
Students work their way through an extensive reading program while in Middle School, reading books from a list of fiction, historical fiction, biographies, autobiographies, and non-fiction. Our reading program is designed to keep students interested in reading while they increase and expand their vocabulary and depth of understanding of people and ideas. Middle School students read an average of 80–100 books a year.
Students also master all core curriculum subjects as well as gaining study, communication, critical thinking and research skills.

Hands On Learning
Application of the data is stressed above all. The end goal of each course is the ability to apply what was learned. Rather than engaging in study for study’s sake, Middle School students are given numerous practical assignments and projects, which serve to emphasize the use of the data in life. This is especially important at this age, since these students are starting to become more aware of the world around them and more able to connect things they are studying to things they see in their lives.


The Arts
The arts are considered an important part of the student’s education. Students are given an opportunity to advance themselves creatively in areas of their own interest. Fine arts, crafts, , music, & theater.
Theatrical performances are scheduled regularly during the school year, and we make it a point to display our award winning student artwork in as many places around the school as we can.
Practical
There are practical requirements for Middle School students throughout their studies, providing them with important real-life experience in conducting experiments, making useful products, participating in activities that further enhance their understanding of the subjects taught or in learning a new skill. Practicals consist of both projects and skill development.
Projects have included such things as running a simple business, participating in a community service project, crossing plants to get a hybrid, writing a short play or helping to create the yearbook.


Life Skills
At Ability School, students work on many practical activities and lessons in a wide variety of subjects .
INDIVIDUALIZED
At Ability School, we focus on students as individuals and tailor their learning experience to them.




Mastery of the Basics
Literacy is an important component in the curriculum used at Ability School. We teach students how to read extremely well at a young age and then continue our rich literature program all the way through Middle School. Our students gain knowledge and a love of reading. The ability to write and communicate effectively improves dramatically. We extend this approach to other fields as well, such as mathematics and technology, since fluency and competence in any subject depend wholly on a mastery of the language involved.
