Middle School
A Great Place to Grow and Shine
Middle school marks a new beginning. That's why we ensure the only thing middling about middle school, Grades 6-8, is the name. With our strong curriculum, engaging programs and activities, Norfolk Collegiate's middle school is a great place to grow and shine.

Dedicated, fun faculty and staff create a middle school experience that students and families look forward to every day. As middle school specialists, our faculty provide the following to each student:
Beginning in sixth grade, middle school students may participate in our athletics program and represent the Oaks on the fields and courts. Extracurricular activities such as LEGO Robotics, forensic competitions, and the spring theatrical production offer additional opportunities for middle school students to explore their interests and talents.
Our middle school advisory program allows students to work closely with faculty and small peer groups, which builds strong relationships and creates a safe space for learning. The advisory program also promotes a sense of community and belonging, and fosters positive experiences that lead to life-long friendships. From the time students enter our doors each morning, our focus is to help them feel welcomed, connected and inspired.
