About the school
The Facing History Middle School is a small, inclusive learning community serving students in grades 6 through 12. Known for its warm, family-like atmosphere, the school emphasizes meaningful relationships and a supportive environment where every student is seen and valued. Facing History embraces a project-based learning model, engaging students in hands-on, real-world projects that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. The school is also rooted in restorative justice practices, promoting a culture of accountability, empathy, and community building over traditional disciplinary approaches. Rather than using traditional letter grades, the school implements a competency-based grading system, allowing students to demonstrate mastery of key skills and concepts at their own pace. This approach supports deeper learning and personal growth, helping students understand both what they are learning and why it matters. With its unique blend of rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, and community-centered values, The Facing History Middle School prepares students not just for high school and college, but for thoughtful, engaged citizenship in a diverse and changing world.
