Middle School at Roots Community School
You asked, we answered. Roots Community School now includes a middle-school experience.
Middle Schoolers Desire Independence
Middle school students are known for pushing boundaries, questioning, and seeking independence.
Your child is beginning to think critically and independently. This is a natural progression in their development.
Imagine finding a school that embraces this developmental stage and unleashes the creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and independence that’s simmering in your child.
You’ve found it – a middle school that channels all that adolescent energy in a productive direction. Welcome to Roots Middle School.
At Roots, we believe the early teen years are full of potential and should be celebrated.
Middle School Years Are Dynamic
Roots provides instruction and experiences that build a strong bridge between elementary school and high school – creating a framework for success. Excellent education provides not only facts and information, but flexible thinking and investigation skills that your child can rely on throughout their life.
We’re creating open-minded, empathetic problem-solvers, innovators, and change-makers.
Roots Middle School
Multiage Classroom
Roots Community School provides a multi-age classroom environment – even in middle school.
As a younger middle-school student, your child observes older students and higher-level reasoning. Your child may not jump in the conversation every time, but they are learning from the experience. Later on, your child will confidently join the discussion and use the skills they learned while listening and watching other students.
Your child also has the opportunity to join advanced academic groups if they are ready for a greater challenge. Grade levels are not rigid, which allows students to be taught at their level.
Leaders & Mentors
As your student transitions into the later middle school years, they develop leadership and mentoring skills, while still receiving the appropriate challenges. They also have the added benefit of multi-age groups where they can learn how to explain concepts, direct others, and problem solve.
Multiage classrooms at Roots middle school prepare students for high school and college classes where they will also be in mixed-group classes. Your child learns to express themselves even when they’re speaking with older students and adults – building lifelong communication skills and confidence.
Your child won’t be bored during middle school at Roots Community School.
