The Middle School at Tucson Country Day School serves students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. Class ratios are 1:24.
The block schedule enables teachers to provide instruction in a focused and in-depth manner that requires them to be innovative and creative. Students participate in their instruction through individual work, groups, pairs, and more hands-on activities. Teachers work as a team and collaborate with each other to incorporate areas of study into more than one class.
Students are registered in four CORE classes that include Math, Language Art, Science
and Social Studies. Some of our Math classes are grouped by gender.
In addition to the CORE classes, students are enrolled in
Spanish, Technology, Physical Education, Art
and Music for one or more quarters each year.
Students can bring their own lunch to school, or buy a lunch or ala carte items each day.
Students are given the opportunity to have a locker, if they choose to use one.
