Guiding Growth, Inspiring Purpose
At The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School, our Middle School program—serving students in grades 5th through 8th—is a dynamic, supportive bridge between Lower School and Upper School. Rooted in academic excellence and faith-based values, our Middle School nurtures independence, leadership, and a lifelong love of learning.
A Developmental Approach: Grades 5–6
We recognize that the move into Middle School is a big step. That’s why our 5th and 6th grade classes are thoughtfully partnered to help students ease into this exciting transition. With structured routines, close-knit classrooms, and increased responsibility, students begin to build the habits, confidence, and academic skills they’ll need as they progress.
Preparing for the Future: Grades 7–8
In 7th and 8th grade, students engage in deeper academic challenges and begin preparing intentionally for the expectations of high school. They may enter accelerated or double-accelerated tracks in Math and English, positioning them for advanced coursework and long-term academic success.
Academic Excellence with Individualized Pathways
Our robust curriculum includes:
- English Composition (Standard & Advanced(7th &8th))

- Theology (Grades 5–8)
MAP testing data and teacher recommendations help place students on the learning pathway best suited to their growth, ensuring a personalized, forward-thinking academic experience.
Exploratory Wheel: Discovering Passions

We guide students through these important years with encouragement, structure, and inspiration—helping them become thoughtful learners and leaders, prepared for the next step in their journey.
