Middle School
Students enter Middle School as children and graduate as bright and compassionate young adults.
The Middle School program builds on the foundation of Lower School to further deepen each student’s personal, social, and academic identity. Our Middle School teachers engage the diverse needs and interests of 10- to 14-year-olds and design curricula that allow students to grow in their strengths, work through challenges, and explore new passions.
A strong academic program, innovative technology resources, and a focus on social-emotional learning prepare students for success in their high school experiences. Beginning in 7th Grade, families begin receiving tailored support as they navigate the high school placement process and select a high school that is the best fit for their student.

Standardized Testing
We take a pragmatic approach to standardized testing at Catherine Cook. Standardized tests are an important part of the high school admission process, and we focus on helping students prepare to show what they know and to approach testing strategically and with confidence. Test-taking skills are also life skills, as tests can be an important factor in creating future options in school and in life.
