The Class of 2025 will be the first class to be a part of our expanded Middle School next fall (grades 5-8). This week, this very special class of fourth graders gained some valuable insight on their upcoming experience.
Led by our Middle School faculty, the fourth graders visited classrooms in Tyler Hall and the S&T building, toured Gwynette Auditorium, Shady Acres, The Green, and the Wendell Center. They learned about their new block schedule, service learning opportunities, community time, and all the new possibilities for classes.
The class was wide-eyed and brimming with excitement by the end of the tours, but Head of the Middle School Ms. Daily made them promise to enjoy every moment of their fourth grade year in the Lower School.
Below are insights from few students about what they are most excited about for the upcoming year.
