The Middle School Experience
The Hamden Hall Experience starts with academic excellence as enhanced by our dynamic learning environment and fostered by our esteemed faculty. Our core values - excellence, support, participation, accountability, and respect - are interwoven in that overarching experience and are integral to the academic growth and success of every student. While rigorous academics underscore all we do, we also care about the people our graduates become and pride ourselves on our socially considerate atmosphere.
Our Middle School balances real academic rigor with a nurturing approach to each individual child in appreciation of the rapid developmental changes taking place at this age. Moreover, the unbridled curiosity of our seventh and eighth graders is carefully managed by experienced educators who know how to inspire excellence while cultivating personal connections.

Purposeful Halls
Project-Based Learning allows the Middle School to provide authentic, real-world learning through in-depth, extensive projects. From mock trials, to fictional memoirs, creating geometric structures, and our capstone short story and declamation projects, we believe students learn as much - or even more - from the high level of engagement engendered by these rigorous initiatives.
