A Unique School
Sennett Middle School is recognized as one of the country's top 200 schools, offering a uniquely designed program to address the developmental needs of middle schoolers.
The "House" program is a structure that reflects a multi-age model. Our students are divided into six houses composed of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders who remain with a team of teachers for three years. This type of program fosters a strong sense of community and "family" in which teacher advisors, parents, and students form a partnership focused on the academic, social, and emotional growth of students.
Integrated Multicultural Curriculum
A common, school-wide, integrated, multicultural curriculum includes special emphasis on the acquisition of skills and strategies which empower students to solve the vast array of academic, social, and personal problems they encounter within and outside the school setting. Students are grouped and regrouped based upon their skill levels, needs, and interests throughout their years at Sennett. Goals for what students should know and do are clearly defined; a variety of achievement indicators are used to measure progress and success.
