Middle School

Educational Philosophy

The Sierra Canyon Middle School exists to provide an exciting setting for learning, specifically designed to meet the educational and social needs of students in 7th and 8th grades. Sierra Canyon believes that learning experiences for young adolescents should address their varied intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral development. Learning experiences are designed to involve students in setting goals, planning, and assessing their own learning, as well as to engage them in problem solving through a variety of experiential learning opportunities. Sierra Canyon Middle School students are taught to value the dignity and diversity of all individuals as they engage in meaningful service, which encourages them to make a difference in the world around them. The Middle School program challenges students and encourages them to take maximum advantage of educational opportunities as doors are opened to new ideas that evoke curiosity and the desire to explore.
