Intermediate School

Intermediate School at Mason Prep includes the 5th and 6th grades. During this developmental stage, students begin to explore their own individuality, growing more and more independent. An exciting time academically, our faculty understands that these students need room to discover and grow in a safe and caring environment.

Each academic subject is taught by faculty members who are knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. The students rotate to each class where they are provided with academic opportunities and learning experiences that foster creative and critical thinking. Within a challenging curriculum, our faculty remains sensitive to the needs of each student and provides the necessary support to develop each student's intellectual potential. Our faculty also focuses on collaboration, working closely to plan meaningful learning across the curriculum. This cooperative approach among the faculty not only promotes authentic academic learning but also serves as a model for the benefits of collaboration.

Citizenship is a cornerstone of the mission of Mason Preparatory School. Our 5th and 6th grade students are given the privilege of serving the school in positions of leadership. One member of our student council in charge of health, safety, and the environment is elected in a school-wide ballot from our 6th grade. Each homeroom elects two student council representatives who communicate our various school-wide community projects to their individual homerooms. These activities help our Intermediate School students gain experience in becoming leaders who focus on service.

Through rigorous academic programs paired with a nurturing atmosphere and emphasis on citizenship, our Intermediate School strives to prepare our students for the upper grades and for lifelong learning.
