At Millennium, we know middle school. As the only 6-8th grade all-gender independent middle school in San Francisco, we focus on developing our students’ whole selves through a rigorous academic program of transdisciplinary “Quests” or classes, project-based learning and real-world experiential learning, and focus on developing our students' “inner selves” through our unique SEL and advisory program. Students engage in real-world expeditions, wilderness days, international and domestic travel, and week-long camping trips. They experience authentic assessment from experts in their fields, and they engage in apprenticeships with local businesses and professionals. At Millennium, our teachers are called guides. They are more than simply holders of content, they guide passage through the transformational journey that is middle school. At Millennium, we empower students for a life of well-being. It all starts in the middle.
