NELMS SPOTLIGHT SCHOOLS

Old Saybrook Middle School offers an environment, which fosters the growth of the individual student and eases his/her transition from the elementary classroom to the specialized subject program of the high school. The school is designed to meet the unique educational, personal, physical, social and emotional needs of the fourth through eighth grade students. In addition to developing interpersonal relationships and respect for the values of others, each student has the opportunity for maximum growth in knowledge, confidence and self-worth. OSMS offers a varied program of exploratory subjects and extra-curricular activities, which strive to foster a student’s curiosity and willingness to learn. This program continues to develop and strengthen basic skills. Each group of students is taught by a team of teachers who rely upon common planning time for coordinating team activities and discussing student development. The school provides an environment for successful achievement and challenges each student to perform well at his/her own level of ability.

Old Saybrook Middle School received the NELMS Spotlight School Award in 2003.
