We are one of eight schools participating in the UWMadison “Bucky’s Classroom” outreach program that pairs UW-Madison students with our students to build college access and career exploration opportunities.
Middle School Grades 6th through 7th

Built to replicate a village, the layout of our school is designed to help students transition to a new environment, while providing them with collaborative and independent learning spaces that help them develop skills crucial for 21st century careers: communication, collaboration, innovation, problemsolving, investigation, critical thinking and creativity. At the heart of our school is the “market” — a large, open community space flanked by our theater, library and computer labs. “Streets” (hallways) radiate from this central space leading to our performing arts and technical education sectors, as well as our seventh grade and sixth grade wings. Within each wing, students are grouped into miniature communities — or houses — for their core academic courses, providing them with a peer group support network. To ensure students form relationships outside of their house, non-core classes are integrated across grades and houses. • STEAM* culture provides hands-on, collaborative and work-based learning opportunities • Honors course options • •
Digital Academic and Career Planning tool helps students choose courses suited to their career interests and helps them plan for post-secondary military, career and educational options Students with disabilities receive services through our Special Education program, are placed in the least restrictive environments based on individual needs and are provided college- and career-ready Individual Educational Programs (IEPs)

Our partnerships with local businesses and organizations provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and career fields. • Every student participates in a real world career exploration exercise that includes resume preparation and an interview with a local professional. • The Green Team established a school-wide sustainability and recycling initiative and works hand in-hand with area professionals to lower our carbon footprint. • One student house established a community garden and native restoration project that is now managed by all students and used as an outdoor classroom.
Our Bridge to Middle School program helps students transition to a new environment while making new friends.
