Academics

Our program challenges students to know themselves as academic learners, have a strong sense of personal self worth and find their voice to express themselves authentically. The low teacher-to-student ratio, rigorous individualized curriculum and Seven Domains™ approach makes the Omega program an extraordinary middle school.

What Sets Us Apart

From a blended approach to teaching, to positive discipline and compassionate communication, we have unique elements that set our school apart.

What Sets Us Apart

Understanding the principle that emotional and social stability is a requisite for academic success, students start each day in Omega Middle School with centering as a practice of mindfulness.

This is a unique time designed to build community, strengthen character, and encourage ethical decision making while placing value in multiple perspectives. As an end result, this creates empathy, or what many are calling the EQ (emotional intelligence). Students set the tone for their day and are fueled for greatness.

Developmentally, the middle school years are vastly different. 

The adolescent experience is different across the grade levels. Our Omega program is tailored to meet the needs of students as they work through these diffffernt stages of adolescence. In 6th grade, students transitioning from an emelentary classroom and culture, learn and build on skills that delevop their independence and autonmy. As students move through Omega into 7th grade, we focus on the development of their personal identity and values. Our 8th graders are presented with experiences customized to their reality of the coming transition to high school.

Through the entirety of the Omega program, students are guided by deep and meaningful relationships with their teachers. These relationships are critical in creating belonging and support the academic and personal growth of each student. As students move on from Omega, they are prepared to tackle new challenges and experiences with confidence in their skill set, a clarity of their values, and an awareness of the world around them and how they chose to navigate it.

Rainbow has never given me an identity to conform to,
but rather a platform upon which to create my own.
