Our Lady Star of the Sea Middle School prides itself on educating the whole child academically, spiritually, social-emotionally, and physically. Through our Rooted program, students are given the opportunity to grow in their relationship with God through a variety of faith-based experiences. Students gather together to pray, worship and learn as a community. Our Catholic faith is authentically integrated into each subject. An accelerated math course is offered to seventh and eighth graders, which allows students to test into sophomore-level geometry. Two hours of language arts are taught per day, with an emphasis on college-prep vocabulary, grammar concepts that enhance writing, and a variety of literature genres. Weekly hands-on experiences with an emphasis on technology and engineering makes our science program exceptional. Your child’s middle school journey begins with a team-building field trip to Camp Storer and culminates with a memorable eighth grade class trip. Our students excel to meet the requirements to be inducted into our chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, and we pride ourselves on not only their esteemed academic achievements but the service it offers. Student Leadership roles are another way Star of the Sea Middle School students showcase their organizational, volunteering, problem-solving, and public speaking talents. Our rigorous academic curriculum with a focus on executive functioning skills prepares students for both public and Catholic high schools.
