Catholic Middle School
Growing in Independence, Confidence, and Purpose
The Saint Clement Middle School Program for Grades 6–8 is designed to support students during an important stage of academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Our faculty understands the unique needs of early adolescents and creates an environment that challenges students while providing the structure, guidance, and encouragement they need to thrive.
Our rigorous curriculum emphasizes strong foundational skills, critical thinking, creativity, inquiry, and independent learning. In both English Language Arts and Mathematics, students are placed in either Accelerated or On-Grade-Level courses, allowing them to be appropriately challenged and supported based on their individual readiness and ability.
Core academic subjects include English Language Arts, literature, mathematics, science, social studies, religion, and Spanish. Students also participate in weekly classes in STEAM, physical education, music, and visual arts, providing opportunities to explore interests and develop skills beyond the traditional classroom.
Throughout Middle School, students are encouraged to take greater ownership of their learning, strengthen study and organizational habits, communicate effectively, collaborate with others, and think critically about new ideas and perspectives. Our goal is to prepare students to become confident, responsible, and independent learners who are well equipped for the transition to high school.
Advisory Program
Our Advisory Program ensures that every Middle School student has a faculty member who serves as a personal and academic advocate throughout their Middle School experience.
Students meet with their Advisory group each morning and afternoon, providing consistent opportunities to connect, organize, reflect, plan, and problem-solve with the guidance of a trusted adult. Advisors get to know each student well and serve as a primary point of contact for families.
Advisors support the whole child by monitoring academic progress, helping students set goals, encouraging self-advocacy, facilitating student-teacher conversations when needed, and helping students better understand how they learn best.
