At MSASE we provide each student with strong social emotional support and academic skills necessary to help them reach their full potential. The three years of middle school are a time of transformation, change and growth, very similar to the life stages of a butterfly.
The metamorphosis a butterfly undergoes is symbolic of the evolution all MSASE students go through over the three years of middle school.
Caterpillar……… 6th grade ……Dream...…. Veracious appetite to learn and explore new things
Cocoon/Pupa……. 7th grade ……Inspire….... Fundamental changes occurring inside
Developing a true sense of oneself
Butterfly...........….. 8th grade …… Believe…... Free expression to the outside world
Butterflies appear to be the same, but as they grow their true unique beauty shines. Like butterflies each student is different and beautiful in his/her own way. At MSASE we provide opportunities that allow our students explore and develop the hidden potential and gifts that reside in the depths of their spirits.
Butterflies teach us that patience brings its rewards and as long as we keep working and developing ourselves the final metamorphosis is beautiful, outstanding and unique.
MSASE is built on the foundation that all students should pursue their dreams (6th grade - DREAMS), explore their passions, discover their life purpose (7th grade - INSPIRE), and claim their voices (8th grade - BELIEVE). Each MSASE student is a beautiful butterfly waiting to spread their wings and fly.
The wonder of teaching is watching caterpillars become butterflies!
