Community Partnerships

“Making a difference today…to make a difference for tomorrow.”

Our staff is committed to academic excellence, embedded in a philosophy that supports and nurtures the whole child as we prepare them for high school and beyond. Our school is characterized as a community of learners, with integrated instruction and curriculum, personalized learning, and a quality staff dedicated to the success of all students. Smaller learning communities called Dens are organized with teams of advisors and content teachers to support the unique needs of middle school students.

We are Komachin Middle School! As a community, we pledge to help create a safe and effective school environment for all. We strive to protect each other from harassment, abuse, and mistreatment. We will create an environment in which it is safe for people to learn, and to express themselves, their individuality, and their identity. Together we promise to speak up for justice, demand equity, value diversity in our community, and foster inclusion through daily actions of kindness, compassion, and empathy.

Komachin values the strong support of our families and community. Volunteer opportunities include mentoring, tutoring, participating in events and field trips, helping in the classroom, and more.
