EMS is a small learning community where all members are respected and supported. The EMS faculty holds high expectations for both academic rigor and behavior.

The curriculum is designed through a combination of NorthCarolina’s Standard Course of Study, student inquiry, teacher assessment of student needs, and global issues. This curriculum is then executed through interdisciplinary global themes that last 6-12 weeks. The work is authentic, adolescent-centered, and incorporates community resources - including our museum, Exploris.

Exploris Middle School is committed to empowering its students to become independent learners. All students are asked to set goals, maintain planners (minimum weekly requirements), follow rubrics and project guides, self-assess, write reflections, and host a portfolio conference at the end of each semester. Your child’s success will be a partnership between you, your child, and your child’s Prime Group Teacher.

How to apply

Students wishing to apply for 6th grade should call the school in the fall of their 5th grade year . That call will place them on the information list. The students on that list will receive applications and invitations to open houses held in December and January. A lottery will take place in late January, 2008. Acceptances or waiting list numbers will be sent out very soon after.

Each grade level has 60 students. The only people guaranteed spots are siblings of students already enrolled.
