er Claver, middle school teachers are part of a team-based model serving grades 6–8, grounded in the philosophy of Ubuntu—“I am because we are.” Teachers collaborate with a co-teacher to support a shared cohort of students, allowing for flexible scheduling, strategic grouping, and interdisciplinary instruction. This structure enables teachers to divide or combine students based on content area, academic need, or project-based learning opportunities, creating a more responsive and engaging learning experience.

Teachers leverage their individual strengths while benefiting from shared planning, reduced isolation, and continuous professional collaboration.

Our experiential approach, combined with this team model, allows for rich cross-curricular projects, leadership development, and real-world learning experiences that prepare students for success in high school and beyond.
