Why Rectory's Middle School?

Because understanding your child is our highest priority...and our greatest strength!

At Rectory, we know not all students learn the same way. Rectory’s supportive environment enables us to create a Personalized Learning Plan that fits your child. Our signature Learning Services Program allows students to build skills, develop executive functioning strategies, and gain the remediation and enrichment they need to thrive in a challenging academic program. At Rectory, we build a foundation of core academic skills, create powerful learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom, and foster strong ethical and social values. 

GROWTH

The outcome of a Rectory School education is the multidimensional growth that is achieved when a student is truly known by the teachers, advisors, coaches, and dorm parents who surround them.

Because we cultivate a community of close personal relationships, we are able to provide the just-right mix of challenge and support students need to grow--not just as engaged, inquisitive prepared learners--but as compassionate and empathetic humans. To be seen, to be known, and to experience this broad, multidimensional growth during the middle school years is an advantage that sets our students apart.

The result: Students who understand themselves and the world around them. Students with the confidence to create their own journey.

Nurturing Minds with Expert Care and Dynamic Programs

Full Circle of Care and Attention

"At Rectory, your children are surrounded by experts who complete that full circle of attention and care your child needs. As parents we are expected to help our children navigate areas that are sometimes out of our scope of experience. We can only do so much as parents, but with Rectory we feel like they complete that circle of support that kids need as young adolescents. Everyone at Rectory who fills a role is an expert and we feel 100% confident that they are doing an incredible job with our kids and we get to receive the benefits. They come back more mature, more independent, self-reliant, confident, and capable of discerning emotions more appropriately."
