Patriot's middle school program is District 49's newest educational opportunity. Classes will begin in the fall of 2025. 

Our 6th-7th grade program focuses on a successful transition from Elementary School to Middle School, with small class sizes, few transitions between teachers, and an equal focus on academic, social and organizational skills. In a separate building on campus, students will experience traditional coursework in addition to elective options such as Art, PE, student-driven clubs, and career based learning. Students will follow a flexible schedule that equally prioritizes academics, community experiences, and skill development.
