Atlantic Middle School, with its diverse population and community, truly represents a microcosm of the world. At Atlantic, not only do our students learn basic skills, but they also develop an understanding and appreciation for our social, ethnic, and cultural differences and human rights. Our staff emphasizes critical thinking, cooperative learning, and technology. In addition, we offer personalized education for the 560 emerging adolescents in our school. Parents, teachers, and community representatives work together to help define the goals of the school. This collaboration enriches our educational programs, thus, resulting in motivated students who are excited about school and knowledge.
