STUDENT LIFE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our middle school students participated in a variety of extracurricular activities that helped them thrive outside the classroom and foster a sense of positive community.

In the Fall, students took part in our annual Giorno dei Giochi (Day of Games) filled with a series of communitybuilding and competitive games at Duboce Park.

There were two dances — the Winter Holidays Dance and the Red Carpet Dance, the latter being our firstever dance co-hosted with another school (Synergy).

These dances were both team building and fundraising events that were led, managed, and coordinated by the students, and the money raised was then donated to a local nonprofit, selected by the students.

Our middle schoolers also participated in a robust Athletics program, offering sports opportunities for volleyball, basketball, track and field, and performance training. Representing La Scuola with immense pride, our student-athletes competed valiantly in the San Francisco International Athletic League (SFIAL), showcasing their skills and spirit against neighboring independent schools. This year, 82% of our middle school student body actively participated in at least one of our athletic programs, signifying the vibrant engagement and enthusiasm that courses through our athletic community.
