Van Wert Middle School

Van Wert Middle School supports young adolescents through interdisciplinary teams, a daily advisory period, and consistent routines that help students set goals and manage assignments. Core classes in English language arts, math, science, and social studies emphasize close reading, evidence based writing, and problem solving through workshop lessons and performance tasks. Students can pursue honors options when available and receive targeted help through small group intervention, special education services, and English learner support. Exploratory courses broaden interests with technology and engineering activities, basic coding, design challenges, and digital citizenship lessons. The arts are active through band, choir, art, and theater, with clubs and leadership opportunities that build confidence and connection. A steady focus on Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports and restorative practices strengthens a respectful climate. Families can expect a supportive community that values growth and perseverance.
