Middle School

Dear Middle School Families,

The Middle School years are an exciting time for students as they embark on new journeys of exploration, master new knowledge, and refine the skills they will need to succeed in an ever-changing, globally interconnected world. The four core values that are the pillars of a CSN education are citizenship, leadership, scholarship, and stewardship. Each is embedded in all facets of the Middle School program and supported by the Middle School Habits of Academic Excellence: building relationships, leaning into rigor and reason, practicing reflection, growing resiliency, and respecting rest and recreation. This comprehensive approach to learning facilitates students’ opportunity to experience tremendous growth during their Middle School years.

Exemplary faculty are available to partner and maintain open communication with parents to foster each student’s success. By working together, we can help students conquer new challenges and overcome adversity, especially as they navigate the trials and tribulations of adolescence. The Middle School faculty are highly qualified professionals who are committed to maximizing each student’s intellectual capability while tending to their developmental needs. They recognize that it is equally important to create a learning environment where mutual respect and trust are commonplace. When you combine the above with a Middle School curriculum that exemplifies best practices in education and provides students with the opportunity to participate in a wide range of co-curricular experiences, you have the hallmarks of a premier independent school experience. This is an experience that students will find at CSN.

I look forward to forming a collaborative partnership with each family to ensure that the Middle School years are a rewarding, enjoyable, and positive experience for every student.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jacqueline Lentini

Head of Middle School
