Looking for a 3-hour course to take this Fall that will also allow you to gain experience working in a middle school setting? Consider taking ENG 315 Learning in Community: Campus Middle School for Girls to help develop an online curriculum among other hands-on projects throughout the Fall ’13 semester!

 Organization Mission
Campus Middle School for Girls is an independent not for profit school that offers quality education for 25-30 middle school aged girls in grades 6-8. It provides individual attention and rigorous course offerings. Special emphasis is put on promoting girls interest in the fields of math and science. Dedicated and highly qualified teachers, small class sizes, the all-girls environment, and the strong belief that girls are highly talented in math and sciences are some of the key elements CMS is relying on to strengthen the individual students early attitude towards these subjects to prevent the loss of interest as it is so often the case.

CMS is collaborating with the University in many ways and it is an outreach partner with several UI outreach activities, many in the fields of sciences. CMS is located on the UI campus. Tuition is the only reliable income and we try to keep it the lowest in the Champaign-Urbana area.   This decision allows UI students who are parents and other low income families to consider CMS for their daughters. This results in a very tight and modest budget for CMS. Collaboration with LINC allows the opportunity for improvement in several key areas that would otherwise be postponed or not carried out at all.”
