Guided Choice & Increased Autonomy - Essential to Guided Choice & Increased Autonomy - Essential to the adolescent years, our middle school program ensures that student autonomy is nurtured, student passions are celebrated, and young people are reinforced in their own ability to work through difficulty and challenge. This culture of guided independence is strengthened by the depth of relationship fostered between the students and their teachers. 

In preparation for their upcoming end-of-year trip, Omega 7/8 students visited the Odyssey Ropes Course at Blue Ridge Assembly. This team-building experience fits well with exploring one of our guiding questions: How do good people with a common goal come together to make good things happen?
