About the School
|
MidSun opened officially in September 1998. The building was designed to accommodate 800 students in four learning communities and offers a comprehensive core and complementary program. We are very fortunate to have a full service library, two computer labs and a high school sized gymnasium. We also have dedicated Art, Construction, Foods/Fashion, Band and Drama rooms. In the 2010-2011 school year MidSun welcomed the inclusion of an ACCESS and ALP class to our student body.

About School Name
|
MidSun is a hybrid name chosen by the students and community members of Midnapore and Sundance. These citizens successfully launched a collaborative effort in 1996 to gain a junior high to reduce the need for busing. The result of their efforts is an impressive building that will meet the needs of the communities for many years to come.

School Mission
|
|
MidSun School serves a diverse population of learners and is committed to providing a balanced program and a wide range of opportunities designed to support the CBE Mission Statement "Educating Tomorrow's Citizens Today"
The philosophy of Midsun Junior High School is based on the following beliefs:
The organization is based on the interdisciplinary team or Community of Learners.
All students can learn under the right conditions.
Every person's "right to learn" will be in the forefront as we design controls and develop our strategies to meet diverse student needs.
Planning and efforts are focused on the best knowledge available regarding learning and relationships.
Parents and the community have a very important role to play. They are involved, through the school council and volunteer network, in all aspects of our school.
