What does it mean to be "in the middle"?

There are more changes that take place in a young person during the three years of middle school than take place at almost any other stage of life.

These changes are dramatic: a major growth spurt; cognitive understanding evolving from the concrete to the abstract; the emerging understanding of moral and ethical principles; the physical maturation of adolescence; and social relationships changing from having play partners to developing more intimate friendships.

At ASP our Middle School program is designed with this in mind, ensuring that the energy and dynamism of these three formative years is captured and harnessed for the success of each student.
