Angevine Middle School

 

 About Our School


Angevine Middle School is a neighborhood school in Lafayette. We serve grades six, seven and eight by offering a challenging and rigorous academic curriculum that is supported comprehensively throughout the school.

We offer a continuum of instructional opportunities in literacy and language arts. Advanced language arts is offered as an option in 7th and 8th grades. We have a large English as a Second Language program which serves between 15 and 20 percent of the student body. There are three levels of instruction, with an additional class linked to content areas for beginners, and ESL reading. We also have an innovative literacy lab for students who need support in reading. We offer a range of math classes, from regular math through an accelerated program at sixth and seventh grades, to advanced algebra or geometry at eighth grade.

Our special education program is designed to support as many of our students with special needs as possible within the regular programs. We aim to correct or mitigate these students’ learning problems with appropriate individual tuition. Although these students are sometimes referred to as ‘special needs students,’ we believe that all of our students are special and treat every student as an individual.

Particularly Talented and Gifted students are offered encouragement through an enrichment program which provides acceleration options. Several such students may take high school courses. These students, like all of our students, are treated as individuals with their own potentialities and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses.

Apart from knowledge, of course, we believe that the most valuable asset that Angevine students can carry with them into high school and on into college is an enthusiasm for learning. We are privileged to have the teaching staff, the administrative staff, and a parent body dedicated to fostering constructive enthusiasm.
