CPSC's Middle School serves fifth through eighth grades. The middle school is at 121 Hunt Street, half a mile southeast of our elementary school building and just a block east of Durham's Central Park. Our mascot is the phoenix.
CPSC Middle School empowers all students to become ethical, caring, and critical democratic citizens. We are dedicated to creating a diverse, safe, and supportive community where our students can take risks, grow, and explore their unique strengths and interests.
Our Expeditionary Learning-inspired curriculum takes CPSC's child-centered, project-based approach to the next level for students entering adolescence. Expeditionary Learning (EL) is active, challenging and collaborative. With its emphasis on adventure and exploration, its focus on diversity and inclusion, and its incorporation of service, fieldwork, and outdoor learning, EL is a natural fit for our young scholars.
Arts and technology are woven into our curriculum, giving students lots of outlets for their ideas. And our dynamic electives program offers foreign language, art, music, technology/maker, and more.
By offering their time and skills to the community, our students blossom into responsible, compassionate, contributing members of society. Whether it's reading with CPSC kindergartners or filling a need for one of our neighbors, service learning is a regular part of our school week.
