Middle School

Grades 6–8

At Silver Lake Preparatory School, our approach to middle school education is built on a foundation of key principles: autonomy, self-efficacy, empathy, self-regulation, equality, safety, understanding, and strong family values. We recognize that the middle school years can be some of the most challenging for students, both academically and socially, as they navigate important stages of growth and self-discovery.

While some view these years as inevitably difficult due to the natural complexities of adolescence, we believe that with the right support and environment, students can thrive. Our educators are deeply committed to creating a nurturing and dynamic learning community where every child feels safe, valued, and empowered. We encourage creativity, celebrate individual passions, and foster resilience — helping each student to grow confidently into their full potential.
