| The
mission of the Thomas
A. Blake
Middle School is to
create a challenging and supportive atmosphere where each
student, during the transitional years, is encouraged to
explore and develop unique academic skills, artistic
talents and physical and personal strengths.
Blake Middle
School offers an engaging curriculum that sets high
expectations for all learners. It exposes them to a broad
knowledge base, builds basic skills and develops critical
thinking and problem solving skills. This requires that
the curriculum be student centered and that students
become active learners. A continued effort connects
content material with life experiences, providing
powerful and relevant learning for young adolescents.
Throughout the school year, the skills of the 4Rs
of responsibility, respect, resourcefulness and
reflection are incorporated into all content areas to
help students become more successful life long learners. |
