Broadalbin-Perth Middle School is located at 1870 County Highway 107 Amsterdam, NY. Education is provided for grades 7 through 8 for school age children who live within the schools territory. This Middle School is apart of the Broadalbin-Perth Central School District which fulfills the mandates of the residents of the district by carrying out their desire for high standards of education consistent with their willingness and ability to support it through taxation.
Broadalbin-Perth Middle School tries to identify our students' academic strengths and areas where extra support is needed. To help accomplish this, three instructional teams have been formed, comprised of an English, Math, Social Studies, and Science teacher. "Team Adventure", our fourth team, is comprised of faculty who teach our 'exploratory' subjects.
The instructional teams meet daily to plan shared and interdisciplinary curricular offerings, coordinate assignments, and discuss student needs and concerns. This is also an ideal time for scheduling parent/teacher conferences.
The New York State Education Department requires children at the middle level to complete coursework in ten subject areas; Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Art, Music, Technology, Physical Education, Computer Technology, Health, Foreign Language, and Home & Career Skills. They attend carefully to the developmental characteristics of these youngsters. We then plan program and instruction accordingly;
The staff strives to offer individualized and enriched classroom instruction to the greatest extent possible to all of our students. Middle-level children need to try out meaningful roles that parallel adult roles- so we offer students opportunities to act as reading tutors, as SPCA volunteers, and club officers. This year our students were the 'guest teachers' for our annual "Discovery Day" and they performed brilliantly in such capacity.
