Middle school is the perfect time to build the foundation for high school and future college success. At S1 Education, we help students strengthen their study habits, explore interests, and make smart choices early — setting them up for confidence and success in the years ahead.

English / Language Arts
Mathematics (Pre-Algebra, Algebra I for advanced students)
Science (Earth, Life, or Physical Science)
Social Studies / World History
World Language (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin)
Health & Physical Education
Electives (Art, Music, Computer Science, Family & Consumer Sciences)
Our Academic Mentoring Helps Students:

Build a growth mindset for academic confidence
Middle school is when students learn independence and responsibility.
Our mentoring encourages healthy routines and self-confidence that translate to long-term success.
Focus Areas:
Time management and goal-setting
Building strong homework and study routines
Developing communication and self-advocacy skills
Volunteering and learning empathy through community work
Maintaining balance between school, activities, and well-being

Ideas to Explore:
School clubs (STEM, art, debate, drama, student council)
Sports teams or recreational leagues

Eighth grade is a great time to start looking ahead to high school course selections and long-term goals.
We Guide Families On:
Choosing the right 9th-grade classes

Even in middle school, students can begin exploring what excites them. We encourage curiosity through hands-on experiences, job shadows, and reflection.

Try online courses or workshops in coding, art, or business
Shadow family or community professionals
Use personality and interest surveys to discover early strengths
