Alsion Middle School
Alsion Middle School (7-9) guides students to cultivate a love of learning in a small, close-knit community and prepares them for a rigorous high school education, especially our Early College Program in grade 10.
Admissions
Alsion Middle School was founded as an extension of Montessori Primary Education, but welcomes students from all backgrounds entering grades 7, 8, or 9.
Applications are available for the next school year beginning in December.
Montessori Meets Rigorous Academics
We pride ourselves on our core Montessori values:
-
Absorbent Adolescent Mind – Develop a love of learning through choice within boundaries. Learn from diverse perspectives to expand your own.
-
Enlightened Independence – Working independently doesn’t mean working alone. Here, “enlightened” means developing honest self-awareness to know when to seek help and when to speak with conviction.
-
Harmony with the Natural & Human Environment – We care about our planet, our school, and each other. That means respecting nature and our community, but also sensing a connection to the work we do—meaningful work that creates real value.
Academic Program
Students join our school with a wide range of talents and study habits. The Middle School years focus on developing effective academic and social habits such as planning and executing large-scale projects, communication, collaboration, and professionalism.
Students learn in our core subject areas of English, Math, Science, History, Art, Spanish, and P.E.
They broaden their experiences in clubs and electives, through social-emotional learning, and on field trips such as School in the Woods, Internship Week, and our signature Biome Trip.
