Our Middle School offers a supportive, engaging and rigorous academic environment.  We recognize the growth of the brain and changes during adolescence.  Middle years education at Sintra emphasizes students' acquisition of analytical skills across the curriculum during this key transitional period.  We provide middle school students with a firm academic foundation for success in high school and beyond.  We also encourage them spiritually and emotionally to develop a strong sense of self and the resilience to meet the challenges of school and life as they prepare for high school.

The foundation years at Sintra provide students with the building blocks of a life of learning and the encouragement to succeed.  Our elementary school begins with two grades of kindergarten, starting at age 4. The development of pre-reading skills begins in K4 with students beginning to read in K5 or 1st grade.  We are keenly aware of the developmental readiness of children and move them forward in reading, writing and mathematics as they are ready.  In grades 1-4 we build a strong reading foundation and teach for mastery in our math program: computational skills, number concepts and problem-solving.


"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."         Proverbs 22:6

The learning day

Inside the Classroom

We focus on small class sizes ranging from 10-12 students, allowing our students the individual attention they need to thrive. Teachers work closely with their students to get the most out of each academic day.  Students are encouraged to complete as much of their homework as possible at school where their teachers can support their learning and practice.  The school day begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:30 pm each day.  Technology is used intentionally and with care to enhance learning. 

After School

There are opportunities for students to have additional support in the after school program, including study hall and tutoring. Our ESL students may have additional instruction during this time.
