Middle School
The Greenfield Middle School program is designed to meet the needs of pre-adolescent/adolescent children in grades five through eight as they become more independent workers and thinkers. As a result of the varying readiness of middle school-age children, some classes are flexibly grouped according to student academic ability and social-emotional needs.
The academic program for grades five and six is largely influenced by the lower school approach to teaching and learning. In grades seven and eight, the organization pattern is more departmentalized, as the students make the transition to Upper School.
