Middle School is a period of tremendous growth and change, exploration and discovery. The small class sizes at Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School allow students to experience a close-knit community fostering confidence, collaboration and creativity. EDS provides a unique environment where a love of learning inspires independent thinkers.
Here at EDS, learning is viewed as a journey. Middle School faculty often talk about the three things that are distinctive about teaching at EDS: highly engaged students, unusually dedicated colleagues, and autonomy in the classroom which allows education to be a process rather than a product. Students receive individualized instruction incorporating 21st century strategies that develop skills needed for our rapidly changing world. The seamless use of technology by the students help them to navigate coursework through Google Classroom and Google Apps for Education using their personal devices.
The Middle School activities are designed to prepare students during these transitional and formative years to understand the importance of juggling academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. Our faculty encourages the students to take on the task of identifying their responsibilities and learning to be accountable for numerous academic classes and projects. All of these activities work together to create an environment that prepares middle school students for the future.
