Project Middle School is part of Project CDA (Creating Drop-out Alternatives) and represents an optional and alternative approach to traditional middle school education.  We offer students another way to complete their Middle School year(s).  We have two certified teachers and two full time teacher assistants, allowing for a great deal of individual attention for each student.

With the small student/adult ratio, emphasis is placed on the individual student.  Several instructional strategies are used to accomplish this, including cooperative learning, peer tutoring, and group discussion.  We believe in developing life-long learners.  Our central focus is enhancing the self as a learner and a worker/producer.  Students have the right to take responsibility for their own education.  Ownership heightens motivation to learn.  We provide a supportive climate intended to assist in both problem solving and academic success for all students who elect to attend our school.  Our emphasis this year is on the core subject areas of math, reading, and language arts.

Project is a school of choice, only students who want to come here are accepted, and parent approval is required.  Parents must also accept the program we offer, because in this unique program we depend on parents to help us accomplish our goals.      We strive to offer a wide variety of approaches to class assignments, with all work being done during the school day and little need, if any, for traditional "homework".  Because of this emphasis on in-class work, attendance is VERY important here at Project.  The only absences we excuse are for court, medical reasons, or trips with parents.  Regular attendance is a requirement at Project Middle School and student must attend to achieve success.
