Where is Middle School Campus?

The Middle School Campus of The Sojourner Truth School, located at 1800 Perry St NE, specializes in Montessori education for grades 6-8. This campus focuses on nurturing independent, self-directed learners through a rigorous, personalized curriculum that integrates academic excellence with holistic personal development. Students engage in hands-on projects, emotional wellness practices, and community stewardship initiatives, preparing them for high school and beyond by emphasizing life skills like task management and self-monitoring alongside core academics. The Montessori approach allows students to explore at their own pace in a supportive environment that values individual voice, perspectives, and choices.
