Excellence in Academics, Athletics, and Arts
At Mandarin Middle School, we take all three of those stars on our shield equally seriously. When our students are drawn more to one than the others, we think it’s important to embrace their interests while equipping them with all the tools they’ll need to live their best lives. Our athletes have an average GPA of over 3.0. We also encourage the college-focused students in our gifted programs to experiment and challenge themselves in new ways, whether it’s on the field, on the stage, or on the digital canvases of our technical education labs.
Parents of Mandarin Middle School students are often astounded by the amount of one-on-one attention their children receive with us in spite of our size. After long, frustrating searches for the right educational environment for their kids, many families come to us for our reliability, for our customization, and particularly for our GATE program. The gifted students in our GATE program follow personalized courses designed to cultivate critical thinking skills, and they have the chance to earn high school credit in math and science, specifically algebra, geometry. and biology.
We Offer Students A Variety of Opportunities
In addition to excellent academic opportunities, Mandarin Middle School students enjoy top-notch artistic and athletic facilities, as well as on-campus clubs ranging from gaming to LEGO robotics. Students who are so inclined have the chance to pursue performing arts (Orchestra/Musical Theatre/Chorus, Band 1-3, Percussion, Guitar), learn about audiovisual technology in our award-winning TV production studio, and compete on our football, baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, or track and field teams. Both our boys’ and girls’ athletic teams are a force to be reckoned with and regularly make it to the city championships.
Responsibility, Citizenship, and Cooperation
The most important lessons a child learns in school can’t be measured on a test or a score chart. More than factual information, more than artistic or athletic technique, more even than study skills for college, we want our students to learn responsibility, citizenship, and cooperation. We know that they will be living their lives in a wonderfully diverse, ever-changing, and often difficult world. Our intention is to leave them well-prepared to function in that world and to contribute to it constructively.
