Middle School
During Middle School, students emerge from being children and become teenagers and prepare themselves for the learning requirements of the High School. They are led to take more responsibility for their studies. It is a changing period for their physical and emotional experiences. Eventually, in the three years of Middle School, they successfully are able to balance their challenges of the social, intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual quests and conflicts. All subjects and activities are taught as pre-high school courses. Assessments are patterned after High School strategies. They are involved in Secondary School activities and also given leadership roles in the Student Government to help them get a taste of High School life. By learning from their seniors in High School, Middle Schoolers transit smoothly to High School. NIVA American ensures that they are able to make progress both with their studies and in the social and emotional aspects of their lives.
