Wi oodward Academy ' s Upper School, occupying Brewster and McKay Halls, is the central focal point for the Academy ' s programs. An Upper School student is exposed to an extensive cur- riculum which expands the student ' s creativity and individ- uality. The Upper School teachers strive to help each stu- dent reach his full potential by instilling in each student a sense of excellence. In grades nine through twelve, the students begin to form the basis of their college education by choosing the direction their education will take. The Upper School not only gives the students the academic foundation that is needed for college, but also gives them the sense of responsibility needed for adulthood. The Mid- dle School, located in R.L. Brand Hall, bridges the gap between the Lower Schools and the Middle School. The purpose of the Middle School is to prepare students aca- demically, athletically and emotionally for the new exper- iences of the Upper School. The Middle School is success- ful in this endeavor as the school meets the needs of the student as a whole person. The key to this success is a dedicated faculty working together to bring out the best in each student. Because of this obvious concern, the Middle School is a place of unbounding excitement and enthusi- asm where each student can form those skills and talents necessary to be successful in the Upper School. 1.
