Middle School Classes & Socials

Middle schoolers are the unfinished, malleable pots on the potter’s drying rack.

They’re in their approximate shape, but they still need some refinement before they take their final glorious form. This soft stage of 6th, 7th, and 8th grade is the perfect time for kids to learn new skills, try new things, and find their figurative voices.

It’s kind of cool watching your kids become themselves, isn’t it?
