The Middle School Principal is assisted by one associate principal and other learning leaders who include learning specialists, 2 counselors, and specialists in Spanish, Art, Music, PE, Aquatics, Library, and Design, as well as a very talented staff of teachers.

The Middle School Division serves 6th graders through to grade 8 and has an important role in bridging the elementary school division and the high school division. The Principal leads a staff that constantly explores and seeks best practices through the work with our global affiliations and international consultants and has worked to develop standards and practice around the workshop model to build a humanities curriculum, implemented transdisciplinary skills into teaching and learning, and has transitioned the division to standard-based assessment, grading, and reporting.
