Middle School

Casa di Mir’s Middle School program embraces the belief that early adolescence is a momentous point in each student’s development that should be celebrated. Traits young adolescents are developing–such as independence, idealism, community-mindedness, experimentation, and enthusiasm–are honored and cultivated at Casa di Mir through a curriculum that supports and enhances this important time in each student’s life.

Block Schedule 

The Middle School operates on a block schedule that provides the variety and choice that best serves the adolescent learning style. Humanities, Science, and Mathematics courses are divided into four 8 week blocks of study per academic year. Additional projects are undertaken in 1 or 2 week “intensives”.

Mixed Level 



The Middle School is a mixed level program with 7th and 8th graders sharing many lessons and projects. Some topics such as math, writing, and debate are given to ability-level groups. In their second year, students can choose from several electives in the sciences and arts

“Casa gave me such a great foundation I built off of. It taught me how to be accountable for my own work, time management, and a good work ethic. I wouldn’t be the same without the Montessori education!”
