Paul Cuffee Middle School is a supportive school community where students are challenged academically, build strong relationships, and develop the skills and habits needed to become independent thinkers and engaged citizens.
Our academic program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and meaningful engagement across all subjects. Teachers work in grade-level teams to provide students with a cohesive learning experience and the academic and social-emotional support they need to be successful.
Each student belongs to an advisory community that begins the day together through our Developmental Designs approach. Advisory provides opportunities to build relationships, strengthen community, reflect, and practice the habits represented in our Cuffee Compass: Be Respectful, Be Supportive, Be Thoughtful, Be Safe, and Be Scholarly.
Our curriculum and grading practices are designed to support students in meeting rigorous state and school standards while preparing them for success in high school and beyond.
