About Our School
Our Mission
Miller Middle School is a space where we experience our connection with, influence over, and interdependence upon a community beyond our family. Here we begin to develop a social-emotional and intellectual identity that will remain with us throughout life.
Our Vision
We work together to support each other and develop ourselves as conscientious and impactful members of our global community. In classroom workshops designed to stimulate intellectual development, we develop our skills of thinking, questioning, academic and social problem solving, collaborative learning, creativity, and communication.

- A sense of joy, fun, and celebration are central to building community.
- We must model, teach and celebrate the behaviors, mindsets and skills that we expect from students: care, respect, responsibility, perseverance, global citizenship, personal growth, collaboration, and grit.
