Lial’s Middle School program provides students with the finishing polish for success in high school. During the school year students are allowed to select additional subjects of interest in which to immerse themselves. Students participate in Science Fair and history projects on a rotating year basis. Continuous progress in all subjects is utilized even at these grade levels. The Lial Middle School program’s success is evident in the $32,000 in scholarships earned by this year's graduating students as well as the number of Lial graduates found on high school honor rolls.
