Atid Middle
Assessed Level Learning
Students are given work tailored to their current level of understanding and can advance as they master each concept. This eliminates the emotional strain and negative self-perception that comes from being labeled and moved along with peers regardless of readiness.
Self-Paced Progression
Students move through their coursework at a pace that suits them, promoting a deeper understanding and retention of material. This approach nurtures self-motivation and independence.
Soft Skills Development
We emphasize 21st-century skills such as collaboration, persistence, self-reflection, and academic risk-taking. These skills are crucial for success in an ever-changing world and ensure that our students are well-equipped for future challenges.
Rubrics and Feedback
Clear rubrics provide students with a roadmap for improvement, fostering a continuous growth mindset that helps them understand what they need to do to excel.
Personalized Education
Atid Middle School takes personalized education seriously. We encourage students to pursue passion projects, allowing them to dive deep into subjects they love. This method not only makes learning more engaging but also exposes students to a variety of learning modalities, such as interviews, building projects, and engaging with experts.
Addressing Diverse Learning Needs
We recognize each student is unique, with varying academic and social-emotional needs. Our approach ensures every student, whether needing extra support or additional challenges, receives the attention and resources necessary to thrive.
Building Future-Ready Skills
At Atid, we recognize content is important and skills are paramount. We focus on developing abilities that will serve students throughout their lives, such as financial literacy, critical thinking, and effective communication. By focusing on digital literacy, financial literacy, and global awareness, we equip our students with the tools they need to navigate and succeed in a complex, interconnected world.
A Cohesive Learning Community
To foster a strong sense of identity and community, Atid Middle leans into the MWJDS yearly theme with essential questions and enduring understandings. These themes guide student-led discussions and projects across all subjects, promoting a cohesive and integrated learning experience.
Consistent Pedagogy And Social-Emotional Support
Our team shares a unified vision and strategy, ensuring consistency in teaching methods and support systems across all classes. We understand students are more than just learners; they are individuals with diverse needs. Our educators provide the necessary tools and environment for students to advocate for themselves and take breaks when needed, promoting a balanced and healthy learning experience.
