Our School

Arcade Middle School provides students access to a strong academic curriculum with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) education in a structured environment.  Arcade offers STEAM programming with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics while focusing on collaboration, inquiry, and process-based learning.  All Arcade students, regardless of their elective class, participate in our yearly STEAM Week and may attend our Open House/STEAM Family Night.  In addition to STEAM classes, Arcade also has a strong music program and art program, so there are options for students with a variety of interests.  Our elective offerings include Media, STEAM, Art and Advanced Art, Beginning and Advanced Band (with opportunities to join Jazz Band or Choir Club), Exploration, Student Government (StudGov), and English Language Development (ELD).  Arcade’s ELD program supports students in becoming multilingual and reclassifying as “Fluent English Proficient” before matriculating to high school.  

Arcade offers programs to help support students in their transition to middle school.  Our Where Everybody Belongs (W.E.B) Program partners incoming 6th graders with 8th-grade mentors.  Incoming 6th graders participate in a summer orientation and are invited to other activities with their mentors throughout the school year.  Through our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Program, we encourage our students to exhibit “Spartan Strong” behaviors, including being safe, kind, and responsible.  

Arcade also has a robust support staff to provide social and emotional supports for students, which includes two school counselors, two social workers, a School Community Intervention Specialist, a School Community Resource Assistant, and a School Community Specialist.
