About Us

What makes us unique?

Student learning at Midtown is purposeful and intentional. Students are engaged through compelling topics and build an understanding of their impact on the world around them. Teachers have the autonomy to create learning investigations that engage their students while building the necessary skills for future academic success. Students are also engaged in monitoring their progress and setting academic goals. We want our students to understand that they are the key to their success in school.

Academic behaviors and learning strategies are taught and our students are guided to develop a growth mindset while persevering through academic challenges. The Midtown staff partners with parents to not only build academic competencies but social/emotional competencies as well. Empathy, assertiveness, cooperation, and responsibility are at the center of the skills and competencies we build in our students.
