Welcome to the MMS GOAL program, where students embrace independence and creativity! Engage in diverse activities tailored for grades 6-8, emphasizing individualized options that promote self-discovery and learning outside traditional grading systems. Students can participate in unique experiences such as Open Heart Surgery, Organic Architecture, and the Jewish/Israeli Film Festival. Activities often require a permission slip and encourage communication with parents. Join us for lunch meetings, team challenges, and exciting projects throughout the school year.
