serving students from the towns of Amherst, Pelham, Leverett, and Shutesbury. We are a culturally rich, linguistically diverse, socially responsible community.

Our school is grounded in middle school philosophy which emphasizes the unique needs and learning opportunities of early adolescents to approach our education with open hearts, open minds, and open ARMS.

• Be engaged and curious learners
• Be collaborative and creative problem solvers
• Value diverse perspectives 
• Care for themselves and each other
