Middle School
When learning is an adventure, and students get to lead, a door opens for a middle school experience that is authentic, connected, challenging, and fun.
Our teachers use an expeditionary learning model to create learning expeditions that are engaging; and engaged learners learn so much more than your standard learning goals!

Mindy Mahar - Eighth Grade Science/ Math Lead
We tried to find a serious picture of Mindy for this page, but… file not found! All kidding aside, Mindy is an amazing teacher. You can see that in the macro, or in the tiny details- like how cozy her classroom is: low lights, low tables, puzzle tables, and fidgets abound- along with your usual tables and tools. Mindy easily builds a rapport with her students and we regularly get messages from past students on Insta saying things like, “MINDY! WE MISS YOU!” She’s going to make you want to come back for the Homecoming Dance. Bet. More on her staff bio page!
Dusty Fox - Eighth Grade ELA/SS Lead
Dusty gives total Camp Counselor Energy - for good reason - it’s her passion! Every summer she dives back into camp. Her kindness and compassion shine, and she loves to have a good time with her team! More about Dusty on her staff bio page!
