About the Middle and Upper School
The Middle School (MS - grades 6-8) and Upper School (US - grades 9-12) make up the Lincoln Street Campus and serve a combined 500+ students with a focus on academic, emotional, and social growth as developmentally appropriate. Each division promotes a strong culture of professional growth, collegiality, and collaboration for teachers. We offer an extensive co-curricular program including arts, athletics, and community engagement, including internships for Upper School students with the University of Utah. We focus on experiential learning in both divisions and offer a series of overnight class and grade level trips, Winter Sports within the Middle School, and various community partnerships. We have a 1:1 device program: laptops for Upper School and grades 7–8, and iPads for grade 6 in the Middle School. Teachers in both divisions use the Canvas learning management system and Veracross as a student information system.
