Middle School (6-8) THE WORLD IS CONNECTEDAND SO ARE YOU. At the heart of all knowledge, you will always find relationships — between elements, between numbers, between cultures, and individuals. At Saint John’s Prep, we leverage the power of relationships to inspire a love of learning in our middle school students, and invite them to connect, explore, create, and discover with a hands-on, experiential curriculum. Register For Discovery Day 6th Grade Highlights Experiential & interdisciplinary LEARNING Our 6th graders build life-long relationship skills while they explore a challenging curriculum and learn valuable study habits to prepare them for high school and beyond. Your 6th-grade student will receive an introduction to German, Chinese, and Spanish as the foundation of the language curriculum. In addition to personal writing instruction, students will have the opportunity to be immersed in hands-on learning experiences from St. John’s University.
