Cuvilly: Grades 7 and 8

Middle school is a time of change and growth in young women. We know how difficult adolescence can be—so we strive to guide our girls along a path that inspires lifelong academic and personal confidence.

During a critical period of development and transition, Cuvilly students are supported and are encouraged to participate in classes, clubs, activities, and teams that stretch their minds and prove that young women can succeed in every field.
