Monday Morning Discussion: Middle School vs. K-8

On Mondays, NCEA Talk presents member submitted topic or question for discussion. Share your knowledge and resources with your Catholic school educators across the country by emailing [email protected].

This week’s question comes to us from the Diocese of Altoona/Johnstown:

“We are considering establishing a middle school in the Altoona Johnstown Diocese.  We have always had K-8 programs.  I hear that those who have established middle schools are now returning to K-8 programs.  Would anyone like to share either on the advantages or disadvantages of middle school programs?” Sister Donna Marie Leiden, S.C., [email protected]
