The Middle School Program serves as an important transition from elementary school to high school, where students experience profound changes in intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual areas. These changes call for unique learning environments where students can mature, achieve success, and be challenged. Our learner-centered curriculum provides stimulating opportunities to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities. In a departmentalized environment, our students are actively engaged in learning through the use of a variety of instructional methods and technologies, such as our one-to-one device program, which promotes collaboration and higher-level thinking skills.
The core curriculum, combined with the ancillary enrichment classes, allows students to grow as individuals of Christ within a community faith. Our students leave Our Lady of Guadalupe with a true sense of fellowship and belonging.
Students in middle school have eight class periods per day. Each class is taught by a teacher who has a specialty in the field they teach. All students take courses in English, Literature, History, Religion, Math, and Science. Additionally, middle students take Physical Education classes, Spanish, and Fine Arts electives. Students are technology-proficient by graduation, with a 1:1 Chrome book program that begins in the 4th grade.
