Middle School Program
In Middle School Baker continues our celebration of each individual and our recognition of the importance of educating the whole child. We consider the physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs of young adolescents. Students travel to different teachers for each of their academic subjects. Traveling groups are rotated each semester to allow for a broader social and deeper academic connection.
Our Advisory program is unique in that students stay with their advisories and advisor for all three years in Middle School. Advisory meets each day and is considered a core subject. Other core subjects are as follows: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and Latin. Working in concert with parents, colleagues and other professionals, the middle school team of teachers responds to the variety of learning styles and needs of individual students. Together we facilitate the important transition that students make toward abstract thinking and critical thinking skills.
