Talk to anyone in Maret’s middle school, and you’ll come to appreciate the joy, excitement, energy, curiosity, and quest for meaningful connections that are hallmarks of the middle school experience.
Thriving in Middle School
Students in Maret's middle school are seen, known, and heard because we know that when students feel a sense of belonging they thrive and excel. Small advising groups, committees, circles, and clubs help cultivate a warm and welcoming learning environment. And, our house system encourages connections across Grades 5–8 through friendly competitions and community building activities. In addition, our Wellness program empowers students to take charge of their well-being and be responsible, positive members of the community.
