Episcopal School of Jacksonville’s Middle School has a strong core curriculum, consisting of English, History, Mathematics, Science, and World Languages, and is complemented by a wide range of additional courses. These courses are designed to give each of our students the opportunity to experience the multitude of offerings available to them. In Middle School, this includes: Physical Education, Bible, Fine Arts, Technology & Innovation, Research, STEAM, and Robotics.

The courses taken in Middle School prepare students to enter Upper School. The creation of a student’s schedule takes into consideration academic history, faculty recommendations, and standardized test scores. Final course selections are based on consultation with the Director of Enrollment, the Head of Middle School, and Department Chairs. Where an honors course seems appropriate, a student may be asked to take a placement test. Once enrolled, the process of course selection is done with the support of the advisor in collaboration with the student, current teachers, and parents.

Our ability to offer course sections is contingent upon a combination of student interest and staffing resources. Enrollment in classes may be limited, due to the number of sections Episcopal School of Jacksonville can offer. In the aforementioned cases, enrollment in the courses will be determined by the prerequisites and requirements set by the department. Additionally, courses may not be scheduled if student interest is not high enough to warrant a full section of students. If a course requested by a student is not scheduled, the student will be placed in an alternate course.

All Middle School students are scheduled for seven classes.
