At Coolidge, we believe that the middle school years in a child’s education, and we recognize that early adolescence is a unique stage of human development. Our middle school philosophy accommodates this unique period in a student’s life and provides a better means of ensuring success for all students by specifically tailoring our program to young adolescents. Ultimately, our goal is to reach every student. We believe that all students can learn, and we believe in the dignity and worth of each middle school student. By working together, we hope to provide a successful and seamless transition through the crucial developmental stages in a child's education—and to build the strong foundation for success in future endeavors.
