Welcome to Norwell Middle School

Norwell Middle School services approximately 520 students in grades six, seven, and eight. In each grade, students are assigned to teams of two or four teachers. English, mathematics, science, and social studies are the core subjects offered on each team. In all classes, critical thinking, cooperative learning, and individual responsibility are emphasized. French, Latin, and Spanish make up our foreign language offerings. Foreign Language is presented in the form of a introductory program in the sixth grade and a two-year formal program in the seventh and eighth grade. During students’ three years at the middle school, the following exploratory courses are offered: art, band, chorus, family and consumer science, guidance, health education, music, physical education, reading, library/iPad, technology/engineering education, and STEM concepts. By utilizing a wide variety of middle school practices, our educational community makes a concerted effort to maintain a delivery system that is student-centered and focused on the unique needs of young adolescents.
