What Makes This Middle Grades Partnership

Each Middle Grades Partnership program is wholly designed by teachers from a Baltimore City public school and its partner private school. Because students differ from site to site, programs do too. However, all Middle Grades Partnership programs—designed to stimulate, not remediate—embody these principles:

Creative, exciting and experienced teachers from public and private schools leading each classroom
Rigorous and rewarding academic and enrichment activities during 150 hours of summer programming, with a strong focus on building skills in algebra, writing and reading
Projects during the school year that bring students from both schools together to better understand themselves and their city, and to make a difference in their communities.

“A positive experience that I had at Middle Grades Partnership this summer was just to have a positive attitude towards others and to enjoy all of the activities. Everything was positive so therefore my whole summer at Middle Grades Partnership has been a positive experience.”
