Middle School Information Night

Sheryl McCarthy and Joan Ratajczak, our middle school teachers, will present an overview of our middle school program.  This event will have the following components:

• Curriculum and Montessori Principles:  What is the curriculum?  What are academic expectations?  What are the leading values and guiding principles that underlay our practices in Montessori adolescent education?  Why do we do what we do?  How do we serve Montessori’s vision of the adolescent?  
• High School Preparation:  Several parents who also have high school children will be on hand to join our staff in answering questions from upper elementary parents.  In addition to drawing from their past and current experiences in the middle school, these parents will also able to reference the high school experience of their older child(ren).  How did the GSCM experience prepare their child for high school?  How was the transition?
• Religious Education in the Middle School (with Annette Lustenberger)
• Questions and Answers

Any parent would certainly gain valuable information from these evenings, whether you are looking to the future or want to know more about your child’s current school experience.
