Description

Seventy First Classical Middle School serves grades 6 through 8 with a classical approach that pairs strong literacy and math foundations with daily expectations for character and citizenship. Students follow a prescribed dress code and a clear student code of conduct that support focused classrooms and respectful routines. The schedule includes dedicated homeroom time, core blocks, and an I E enrichment period that extends learning with targeted practice, projects, and support. Visual and performing arts are a signature, with electives that develop creativity, technique, and confidence for school events and community performances. Staff emphasize relationships, transparency, and steady communication so students grow as scholars and leaders. Families can count on high standards, purposeful structure, and pride in the Knights tradition. We are glad to partner with you in a year anchored in excellence.
