Faculty's Years at SBS
Built for the Middle School Years
Middle school students are growing quickly, academically, socially, spiritually and personally. Our faculty understand this stage and know when to provide support, when to challenge students and when to give them room to take greater responsibility.
Through strong relationships, clear expectations and close partnership with families, students learn to advocate for themselves, work through challenges and grow increasingly confident in who God created them to be.
Known
Teachers build relationships with students and pay attention when academic, social or personal needs arise.
Challenged
Increasing academic expectations develop critical thinking, resilience and strong habits.
Growing in Independence
Students gradually take greater responsibility for organization, communication and their own learning.
Academics That Grow With Them
From grade 5 through grade 8, students encounter increasing academic challenge while developing the habits and skills they need to succeed independently. With clear expectations and accessible support from teachers, students strengthen critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills while preparing for upper school.
