Middle School Program

At our Middle School, we are dedicated to empowering each student to develop leadership skills and reach their full potential. Our program is built upon the following four pillars:

🌍 Global Project

Students engage in homestays in countries with rich and diverse histories, cultures, and economies—such as Tonga and the Czech Republic. These immersive experiences expose them to a wide range of perspectives and values. Through meaningful interactions, they deepen their understanding of global challenges and develop a mindset focused on creating a brighter future through collaboration with people around the world.

💡 Entrepreneurship

In today’s fast-evolving world, the ability to identify opportunities and make meaningful contributions is essential. This program fosters an entrepreneurial spirit, providing students with the mindset and skills necessary to create value and build fulfilling careers while positively impacting society.

✨ Character Building

Students begin by identifying their strengths and passions. By developing their unique talents and reflecting on how they can contribute meaningfully to society, they prepare for future opportunities. Ultimately, they create a profile and portfolio that highlights their growth, skills, identity development, and aspirations, providing a roadmap for their personal and professional development.

🤝 Community Engagement

Through active participation in their local community, students expand their perspectives and build lasting connections. By participating in contests, competitions, and volunteer activities, they learn to express themselves confidently while making valuable contributions to the wider community.

These initiatives provide students with a solid foundation as future leaders, empowering them to explore the vast possibilities ahead. We are excited to support each student’s growth！

Curriculum

Language Arts / Geography / World History

Starting from Grade 7, we will use Study Sync (Language Arts), Exploring Geography & Global Issues (Geography), and World History-Voices and Perspectives (World History). By integrating knowledge from each subject, students will deepen their holistic understanding and better understand how the content can be applied in real-life situations and the wider world.

Reveal Math

At Learning Tree, we utilize the Reveal Math curriculum and methodologies, aligned with the American Common Core Standards. This curriculum supports effective differentiation and fosters a growth mindset through insightful instructional resources. Students engage in mathematical explorations and discoveries, deepening their conceptual understanding. The curriculum introduces new skills using sense-making routines and focus questions, helping students develop a mathematical way of thinking before tackling more abstract concepts. Reveal Math’s purposeful technology and active classroom experiences make math accessible and engaging. Additionally, a variety of assessment tools provide valuable insights into student progress, enabling personalized learning and ensuring that each student finds joy in their math journey.

Inspire Science

Inspire Science is a dynamic program that sparks students’ curiosity through hands-on, inquiry-based activities. Aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the curriculum follows the 5E instructional model—engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate—guiding students through each phase of the learning process. The program encourages students to investigate real-world phenomena, actively engaging with the world of science. As they gather evidence to support their claims, students develop critical thinking skills known as three-dimensional thinking. To create a more cohesive learning experience, we align Inspire Science topics with the themes in our Benchmark Advance literacy program.
