Middle School Curriculum


Our middle school curriculum is thoughtfully designed to challenge and inspire students, encouraging them to explore diverse subjects and develop critical thinking skills, while building a strong foundation that prepares them for the success in the Upper School and beyond.

Students are required to carry a full course load of core academic classes, which includes the following disciplines: English, social studies, religion, math, science, and physical education. As part of our commitment to global citizenship and cultural competency, students are also required to pursue studies in an international language for all four years of middle school, unless they are participating in Learning Support Services. Additionally, our students in the seventh and eighth grades must engage in a specialized writing course, which further hones their written communication skills.

Finally, all Forest Ridge Middle School students are required to participate in one of our highly regarded Immersive courses, which take place each spring. This weeklong program is designed to challenge students in new ways, promoting collaboration, leadership, and experiential learning.
