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 any rigorous high school education, especially for those joining 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 grade 7, 8, or 9.
Students who attend Alsion Middle School receive priority admission preference to Alsion’s Early College High School Program. 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 curiosity through choice within boundaries and learning from diverse perspectives.
-
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 confidence.
-
Harmony with the Natural & Human Environment – We care about our school and each other. That means respecting others and our surroundings, but also sensing a real connection with the work we do—meaningful work that adds real value to our school and local community.
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, note-taking, collaboration, punctuality, and professionalism in communication.
Students learn in our core subject areas of Math, Science, English, History, Spanish, and P.E.
They broaden their experiences in clubs and electives, in social-emotional learning, and on field trips such as School in the Woods, Internship Week, and our signature Biome Trip.
