Middle School
Colburn Shindell, Interim Head of School and Middle School Head
Greetings,
At the Sage Ridge Middle School we strive toward two goals in all we do. First, we provide a core-centered, challenging academic curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for intellectually capable adolescents within a supportive, respectful, inclusive and safe environment. Second, we will meet the developmental needs of middle school-aged children. These two goals are symbiotic; to achieve either – academic success and healthy personal development – we must achieve them both. The student who leaves our middle school at 8th Grade Promotion will be prepared for the Sage Ridge Upper School and have the foundation for a life-time of learning and growth. Our talented and committed faculty is passionate about two things: teaching middle school-aged children and their proven education in and contribution to their academic field. When these elements meet in our classrooms, students are provided the very best environment in which to grow and succeed.
Sincerely,
Colburn Shindell
Interim Head of School and Middle School Head
