When you think of your middle school memories, what comes to mind? Awkwardness and braces? Pushing your way through crowded hallways? Hours spent memorizing math equations and highlighting dry history textbooks?
Mackintosh Academy’s students look back on their middle school years with a different lens.
One recent graduate said, “I’m the only kid in my high school who didn’t hate middle school!” Our alums often reflect on how unique their pre-teen experience was, and how it helped them to be confident, well-prepared high school students.
In this student-created video, Mack Littleton’s MYP (Middle Years Programme) students share their own words about what makes a Mack middle school education different: inquiry-based curriculum, hands-on learning, service trips, dedicated teachers, and a close-knit, supportive community.
As an International Baccalaureate Middle Years school, Mackintosh Academy is more than just curriculum – it’s community! Our students have the opportunity to thrive in an environment tailored for them. They get to solve real-world problems. They learn to be critical and reflective thinkers. They work with teachers who truly know and care about them. And perhaps most importantly, they develop a true sense of belonging.
