Middle School

This is the capstone where it all comes together. Each of our students is an active, vital member of the class, school, city, and global community as they participate in community service opportunities and a variety of off-campus trips taken during the school year.

Our Middle School

Our Middle School Program covers the traditional grades of seventh through eighth. Along with a strong academic curriculum, there is also an emphasis on the development of valuable personal life skills through independent studies, small group presentations and projects, large group activities, and leadership experiences. Students learn how to be efficient learners and are guided in implementing this knowledge through the use of a personal learning plan.

Leadership and Skills for Life

Middle School Students acquire valuable leadership, study and life skills in the CLMS environment. We receive very positive feedback regarding our students' transition to high school.


Beyond intellectual development, the Middle School program guides students to become active citizens and fully informed problem solvers within the local community and beyond.

“The only true freedom for an individual is to have the opportunity to act independently … there is no such thing as an individual until a person can act by himself.”
