6th - 8th Grade

School Hours

9:05 a.m. – 4:15 p.m.

Our multicultural curriculum includes social and emotional lessons, so students learn to think globally, critically, and act with empathy. Morse students develop an ability to see and solve problems and apply their new knowledge and skills to community projects. They gain communication skills, confidence, and a global perspective to believe they can make the world better—and they do.

Our international faculty focuses on student success and well-being. Educators and staff deliver high-quality teaching and build relationships with students and families. Special education teachers work with families to identify students’ needs, abilities, and provide individualized instruction. Every student knows there is an adult in the building they can turn to for extra support, anytime.

After-school hours are a time for specialization and connection. Teachers provide tutoring services and lead extracurricular clubs focused on film, art, and leadership development. Our chess team wins regional tournaments, and the Morse Hawks compete in five sports.

School-wide success unites educators and parents, staff, and students. Parents and caregivers join our School Engagement Council, network in our Parent Center, and attend evening and weekend events that showcase student accomplishments.

We teach and model restorative practices that promote peaceful community-building and conflict management. Students meet behavior and attendance goals using our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework.
