middle school

Our primary mission is to provide middle school students with the academic and social/emotional skills to ensure a successful transition to high school. At Hunterdon Prep we support this transition through our transition curriculum and by providing our middle school students with:

GROUP COUNSELING

“Group” is a forum for learning the tools needed to communicate effectively and respectfully, resolve conflicts in a socially acceptable manner, and to give and receive feedback and support. Students participate in group counseling for forty minutes, three times per week.

STUDY and ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS

Students in the Troupe classroom focus on organizational skills, homework, and classroom behavior. Troupe students assess themselves daily as a method of promoting self-regulation, academic motivation, and homeroom team building.

ACADEMICS and CORE STUDIES

The Middle School curriculum meets all state and federal standards. Our core studies include English, mathematics, social studies, science, visual and performing arts, music, and physical education/health. We provide individualized instruction according to each student’s unique needs and as defined by the goals and objectives in a student’s IEP.

ELECTIVES and ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES

Middle school students are integrated with our high school students for afternoon electives. Our students benefit from non-traditional physical education and elective classes such as fishing, outdoor education, bowling, yoga, CAD/3D printing, creative writing, and independent living. Expressive art and music programs, cross-curricular education activities, and field trips provide experiences that are invaluable to middle school students.
