Fall and Winter sessions are ten weeks long except for Friday classes in the Fall, which are eight weeks. The Spring session is eight weeks for all classes, except Mondays which have seven weeks and Fridays which have six weeks.

These games are still popular, but it is quite remarkable how far the board game industry has come in the last few decades. Board games are rich in strategy, probability, reading comprehension, storylines, teamwork, and they fit all of this into a cardboard box!

To celebrate and enjoy these delightful games, students from fifth to eighth grade gather for Board Game Club. The students generally learn a new game each week, and then spend the rest of the time playing and bonding with fellow students.

Middle School Homework Club

Middle School Homework Club provides a supportive learning environment for sixth-, seventh-, and eighthgrade students to complete their homework in a peaceful and quiet after school setting. Supervised by Dr. Walker, students receive homework support and opportunities to collaborate on their work. Advanced notice of attendance is appreciated, however, drop-ins are welcome with a note from a parent.

Middle School Math Club

The Middle School Math Club has two objectives. Firstly, to encourage an appreciation and enjoyment of math and its essential role in so many parts of life, thereby helping students develop real-life math skills they will benefit from in the years that follow. Secondly, to build their academic math skills, individually and in groups, and to create positive experiences at external regional math competitions. The Club is led by Eton Parent David Rowell, an experienced Math Club coach and advisor, with Ms. Moore as the Club Adviser.

Middle School Speech and Debate Club

Middle School Speech and Debate Club teaches students the fundamentals of public speaking and how to reason and express themselves cogently and clearly. It encourages an open-minded appreciation of both sides of issues, and helps to make students better and more persuasive communicators. The Club is led by an Eton parent, David Rowell (a former champion debater and regular public speaker) with Ms. Laura Moore as Club Adviser.
