The staff at Canton Middle School are proud to announce that the Connecticut Association of Schools has selected us as the “Middle School of the Year for 2008-2009.”  This selection was based on a careful evaluation of all aspects of Middle School educational programs.

Canton Middle School was incorporated by the Canton Board of Education in 2004 to integrate the best educational practices for Canton’s early adolescents. The school comprises grades 7 and 8, servicing about 140 to 150 students in each grade. Students and faculty are divided into three interdisciplinary teams. Each student is part of an advisory group, lead by a faculty advisor. All students take a core academic program (English, Math, Science and Social Studies), with about 75% electing a world language in grade 7.  There is also a broad range of courses in the various arts, including band, chorus, technology education and FACS. A wide ranging sports co-curricular program is also an integral part of our mission.
