Ventnor Middle School
The strength of the VECC lies in its richly diverse,
multi-cultural student population. Students in the middle school may
speak one of twenty-one different languages or come from one of over
fifty countries. The students bring enriching life experiences to our
classrooms. In the 2012-2013 school year, approximately four hundred
middle school students attended Ventnor Middle School.
Ventnor Middle School provides a full range of educational
services appropriate to grades five through eight. Academic courses
include the five core subjects consisting of reading, English,
mathematics, social studies, and science. Related arts programs open to
all students include art, music, computers, technology, instrumental
music, health, physical education, and world language. Other programs
include English as a Second Language, Algebra, Title One, and Special
Education.
The middle school offers a wide range of extracurricular
activities including interscholastic sports in soccer, field hockey,
basketball, volleyball, and track and field. Additional extracurricular
activities include Honor Society and Student Council. Our academic
afterschool programs include computer aided instruction, study halls,
and mathematics / language tutoring.
The VECC emphasizes the use of technology in teaching and
learning. The Media Center is equipped with networked computers and
other “state of the art” technology. Wireless laptops and netbooks are
being used in all grade levels.
At the Ventnor Middle School, it is our goal to facilitate a
positive environment for learning and growing, where students believe
they can achieve in academics and foster their own innate talents
through all endeavors.
