Middle School

BSS’ Middle School program has been designed to meet the needs of the learner in transition. Grades 7 and 8 are a crucial time for girls’ development and this program focuses on the intellectual, physical and emotional well being of students at this stage to ensure a smooth transition to Senior School.

Students in Grade 7 and 8 are placed in one of BSS’ 12 Houses in groups of 8-10, where they meet each morning with their Middles School advisor and have the chance to interact with Senior School students. Once every two weeks there is extended Middle School for activities. Courses include English, French, Mathematics, Science, History/Geography, Physical and Health Education, Visual Art, Drama, Music and Dance. Girls are also engaged in interdisciplinary learning that encourages them to see the interconnectedness of so many things. In BSS’s Middle School program, students have time for in-depth exploration of subjects in an inquiry-based manner.
