Each Middle School student begins the academic year with an iPad2, another example of Brandon Hall's commitment to increasing the personalization of each student's educational plan.

Embracing this newest technology, we connect our students to the vast and expanding resources of the Internet. As educators, parents and students, we are all more dependent on technology to communicate and be efficient. This extra tool helps teach the skills needed in today's world to meet the demands of higher education.

In the classroom students and teachers will share work, graded materials, quizzes, and tests in a paper free environment that will encourage proper computer organization skills and allow for greater parent monitoring of student performance. The decreased consumption of paper is a coordinated effort to have a more environmentally friendly campus.

The Middle School provides the foundations for a college preparatory curriculum by using a variety of instructional methodologies, including both Specialized Instruction and group instruction. Students may be placed in Specialized Instruction classes to provide the greatest opportunity for structure, study skills, and/or remediation.

Both levels of instruction allow for academic growth and foster and ensure increased independence while providing individualized attention. Differentiated multi-sensory instruction, classroom application, field trips and the iPad implementation are integral parts of both modes of instruction.

Core advanced classes in math and/or foreign language are offered on an individual basis for students who have reached the requisite levels of achievement.
