[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not recommend a middle and upper school that’s together. Pick a school that goes up to grade 8 and not beyond. We unfortunately did not do that and learned the hard way. [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

NP, I know in our case some upper school teachers taught some middle classes as well. They did not pivot to what was appropriate for a middle schooler academically and expectations were often unattainable and not appropriate.  [/quote]

Hmmm...so not as much of an issue if the staffs are seperate?[/quote]

I don’t think the staff are separate, most if not all the teachers will rotate classes between high school and middle throughout the day. I do not like it at all and wish I knew the issue with this before. Would not choose an upper and middle school together again. Go for up to grade 8. [/quote]

Interesting. I've been following the aims/nais want ads and the school I enrolled DC at for next year advertises position by division and specifically lists the courses.

Foreign Language was the only content I have seen that bridged divisions.[/quote]

Definitely not at my DC school. Science, math, English, all teach both upper and middle. [/quote]
