Students in sixth grade are clustered together for their school day. Their lockers and classrooms are separated from the older students. This allows these younger students to form closer relationships and enjoy age-appropriate bonding experiences. The close bond that ESJ students experience with each other sets us apart from other independent schools.
Students in sixth through eighth grades attend Middle School Chapel and Middle School lunch. Their classrooms are generally arranged by subject in separate buildings. Middle School students are able to interact with other students in different grades through mentorships organized by the faculty.
On top of excellent academics, Middle Schoolers can expect to enjoy a rich and exciting educational experience. Our students love participating in our sports teams as well as artistic curricular and extracurricular opportunities including visual arts, dance, drama, pep band and chorus. Middle and Upper school students have many opportunities to participate in a vast array of clubs including service clubs, special interests, competitions, performance, and academic clubs. There are more than 100 on-campus clubs offered at our Munnerlyn Campus.
