Arcade Middle School, with a strong emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) education, is an innovative academic institution that aims to prepare students for a rapidly evolving, tech-driven future. The school offers a unique curriculum that integrates these key areas, encouraging students to connect concepts across multiple disciplines.
"Where Everyone Belongs" (WEB) is a middle school orientation and transition program. It's designed to help incoming 6th graders feel more comfortable and to help them achieve success in their first year of middle school. The program trains mentors from 8th grade to guide and support the newcomers. These mentors are trained to facilitate team building, to help with academic success, and to help with the overall transition to middle school.
