 | The Ninth Grade Experience at Sage Hill School brings together a unique curriculum and close partnership among the student, family, and school to ensure a successful transition from middle school.
Highlights of the Ninth Grade Experience
- Robust advisory program -- Each student benefits from weekly one-on-one and small group meetings with a faculty advocate. Student-led conferences with advisors and parents focus on all aspects of each student's school experience while encouraging accountability and initiative.
- Challenging curricula -- Our unique courses emphasize critical thinking, creativity and knowledge application and lay an important foundation for high school learning.
- Individual support -- Dedicated time for extra help is built into the daily schedule, and teachers, advisors, as well as the Ninth Grade Dean and Learning Specialist, are easily accessible.
- Frequent communication -- The Ninth Grade Insider, our monthly e-newsletter from the Ninth Grade Dean, highlights events, curriculum, and notable student achievements.
- Year-long service learning -- Students develop a commitment to their communities through mentoring public elementary school students.
- Fall retreat -- Ninth graders to get to know classmates and advisors in a relaxed learning environment.
