Middle school is such an exciting and important season in a student’s educational journey. It is a time when children begin to think more deeply, question the world around them, and look for meaning in the lessons they are learning. For many families, it can also feel like a season of transition as students move away from the more guided approach of elementary school and step into greater independence.
