Seventh Grade
The Seventh Grade Experience
Seventh grade at SBMS is a time of growth, discovery, and deeper engagement. Some students continue building on their sixth-grade foundation, while others join us from elementary schools, bringing fresh perspectives to our dynamic learning community. With passionate teachers dedicated to middle school education, we create an environment where students feel supported, challenged, and inspired.
Our seventh-grade curriculum covers humanities, math, science, foreign language, life skills, and the arts, offering the same academic rigor as other junior high schools—but with an SBMS twist. Learning extends beyond textbooks, incorporating hands-on projects, field studies, guest speakers, and real-world applications.
At SBMS, education is an adventure. Whether engineering sturdy catapults in science, evaluating Kiva.org applicants to distribute microloans in Human Geography, or finding their voice through creative writing, our students are constantly sharpening their skills and expanding their understanding of the world.
