We offer rigorous, distinctive academics and a diverse range of enrichment programs in a vibrant learning setting.

Our academic program embraces the energy, enthusiasm and curiosity of middle school students by introducing relevant topics in sustainability, community engagement and the environment. Explorer West views middle school as a time to develop academic, creative and social skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our classes include English, social studies, math, science, Latin, physical education/health, outdoor education and the arts (music, drama and visual).

“From the first time I walked through the blue doors, I felt welcomed. I could tell that everyone wanted me to succeed and try my hardest. The school has such a close community where you could ask questions and not be afraid to try your best. Explorer West made me want to try new things that I would have thought I would have never wanted to do. Because of all we learned at Explorer West, academically and socially, we are ready for high school.”
