NEEPAWA MIDDLE SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
Neepawa Middle School’s primary concern is to provide a curriculum that is responsive to the needs of young adolescents while providing a smooth transition between elementary and high school. By understanding how middle years’ students think and feel, teachers can provide a supportive, encouraging learning environment. Students need to have the opportunity to gain significance, competence and power in appropriate ways. Goals for the middle years’ program include:
1. To emphasize learning about career opportunities and make choices appropriate to one’s own individual skills, talents and interests.
2. To gain an understanding of human growth and development, family relations, emotions, human physiology and human sexuality.
3. To explore activities which are designed to help students learn to make worthwhile and satisfying use of leisure time.
4. To develop the skills of learning, a positive self-concept, and the necessary social skills for making friends and getting along in a group.
