Notre Dame de Sion’s Middle School program is dedicated to building knowledge and confidence as students transition into young adulthood. Creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication are instilled into our middle schoolers as they acquire the skills necessary for a successful high school career. Typically, Sion has two sections of sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, with approximately 15-17 students in each section.
 
Sion’s Middle School academic program immerses pupils in a comprehensive curriculum that includes the traditional core disciplines of Reading Comprehension and Writing, Integrated Math, pre-algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II,** Geometry,** Social Studies-Humanities, Holy Ground, and Science with STEAM labs, and enriched by art, music, and physical education, French, and Spanish. 
                 **When a grade has qualifying students.

We designed the overall curriculum to provide significant reinforcement beyond standard teaching learning. Through the integration of project-based service-learning and cross-curricular content, the Middle School faculty guides students to become engaged problem-solvers who make a positive impact in their community. Dedicated to understanding and meeting the needs of the whole student, including academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, faculty members support individuals throughout some of the most important years of a student's life.

Families can monitor student progress via the MySchoolApp, NWEA test scores, and  the quarterly report cards. In September and February, families and guardians may choose between remote or in-person Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTCs) that students will lead.

Middle School Division Extracurriculars:

Our Middle Division program offers a wide range of extracurricular activities that cater to various interests and abilities. Students may participate in cross-country, volleyball, basketball, or track practices aligned with the Parochial League of Kansas City when not engaged in homework or service activities. We also offer select After-School Academies—such as math club, science club, geometry workshop, swimming, drama class, chess, karate, or world language—which expand academic and physical abilities and strengthen creative expression options. This diverse range of programming encourages students to explore their interests and develop their skills outside class.
