Curriculum

Middle school at Westhill Institute begins in grade 6 and finishes at the end of grade 8. However, the academic framework that middle school is prescribed to, the Middle Years Programme (MYP), spans two additional years and finishes in grade 10. Students in middle school at Westhill Institute are fully immersed in English instruction, with Spanish, French, and Korean offered as foreign language electives. The standards that are taught in middle school for our core subjects are pulled from the CCSS for math and language, the Massachusetts History and Social Science Framework for studies into individuals and societies, and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for science and technology.
