Welcome to Amherst Middle School The attractive towns of Amherst and Mont Vernon provide their own elementary schools and share the Amherst Middle and Souhegan High Schools. The mission of Amherst Middle School is as follows: The Amherst Middle School aspires to be a community of learners born of respect, trust, and courage. We consciously commit ourselves: To support and engage an individual's unique gifts, passions, and intentions. To develop and empower the mind, body, and heart. To challenge and expand the comfortable limits of thought, tolerance, and performance. To inspire and honor the active stewardship of family, community, nations, and globe. One thing that makes our middle school a unique place is an understanding of how kids from 10 to 15 grow, change, and learn. This understanding is the foundation that structures a student’s daily experience in order to meet the student’s physical, emotional, social, as well as academic needs. As you walk the halls of our school, you will see a great variety in our students! The use of the Team Teaching approach, a method of keeping the same small group of teachers together with the same group of students, helps to foster a sense of being known and belonging on the part of students. Each student is assigned to a homeroom on the team. In addition to having the team teachers for academic subjects, students have additional teachers for Special Subjects. These include art, music, band, chorus, home economics, technology arts, computers, physical education, and health. Options for specials vary by grade.
