Curious and keen to learn, students in Grade 6 and 7 balance childlike qualities and the developing life of an adolescent while going through a time of great change. Crofton House School’s unique Middle School program offers a supportive environment for girls to take on more responsibility for their learning and explore their interests in a variety of new ways, including competitive athletics, clubs, co-curricular opportunities and expanded leadership roles.
Our interdisciplinary and enriched curriculum is designed to intellectually challenge students of this age. Specialist teachers support girls academically and emotionally as they learn skills that will help them navigate the progressive responsibilities ahead of them. Our dynamic program offers unique opportunities for girls to question, imagine, collaborate, research and create – whether it’s through a four-day outdoor education experience or a personalized discovery project.
Middle School is a transformative time when girls seek more independence and deeper connections with others. Within the safety net of their teachers and peers, CHS girls develop the confidence to embrace responsibility, challenge assumptions and learn from their mistakes. At CHS, girls are supported while they challenge themselves and learn that, with perseverance, they can achieve success in whatever path they choose.
“When I open the doors to Crofton House, I always feel welcomed by students and teachers. I’m always excited to come to school because every day is unique and different.”

While exploring the subject of mapping, Grade 6 students took the opportunity to improve their coding skills with agile little Sphero robots. Tasked with travelling the world in 30 minutes or less, they programmed their little robots to navigate a 2D map, tackling spot challenges along the way (including earthquakes!)
Students in Grade 5-7 heard Dustin Hogan from Safer Schools Together talk about all things digital - from digital citizenship and how to be a good digital citizen to the consequences of cyberbullying. Dustin also delivered an informative presentation to the Junior School parents in the evening and emphasized the important role parents have in leading the charge as digital role models and how to help their children develop a strong digital citizenship foundation while reminding them that their digital footprint is a reflection of their real and online selves.
