10 Thing that make Liberty Middle School Special
Robust Academics
At Liberty Middle School, every student learns! Each day we have an advisory block called Unity Time which provides students with academic, behavioral, and wellness support during school hours. This gives students a daily opportunity to demonstrate proficiency with essential grade-level standards and receive deeper support if needed. We also provide direct academic support through our Learning Center.
AVID Program
Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) at Liberty Middle School is a program designed to help students achieve college and career readiness. By building writing, inquiry, collaboration, and organization skills. Our AVID students partner with "Think Big for Kids," a national non-profit which provides our AVID students the opportunity to explore diverse career paths, connect with mentors, and gain valuable job readiness skills.
Emphasis on Arts and Electives
We recognize the importance of arts and electives on the success and development of our students. Liberty Middle School offers three foreign languages (Spanish, German and French), National Junior Honor Society, a daily news program, Science Olympiad, and more!
Get2Green
Liberty Middle School’s Get2Green program engages students in environmental stewardship, incorporates sustainability into the classroom, and promotes green initiatives throughout our school -- including taking care of the courtyard chickens (which ties into our science classes)! We also collaborate with the community, such as the bluebird trail installed along our perimeter grounds in partnership with the Bluebird Society.
Diverse Clubs and Programs
Liberty Middle School offers a huge variety of after-school clubs and programs sponsored by our passionate faculty! Students can also follow their passions through activities such as Debate Club, Soccer, Weight Training, Lego Robotics, Art, Get2Green, Theater, Magic the Gathering, and Dungeons and Dragons. We also support programs that compete with other schools; cross country, basketball, and battle of the books.
Dedicated Staff
Liberty Middle School is home to dedicated, caring staff who take time to connect and nurture each student. We’re also proud to say that we have several former Liberty Middle School students who are now staff members!
Strong Family Support
We’re grateful to our creative and energetic PTA, and to all of our Liberty Middle School families who work with us to create an environment that empowers the academic, social, and emotional success of all students. Through volunteer opportunities, events, and activities, we help create a strong and positive school culture!
We Love Our Library!
Our book collection has all the latest titles and student requests, and it’s always growing! We work closely with teachers to make lessons come to life, and our makerspace is the perfect crafting area for students to get creative with hands-on projects. Our Battle of the Books club lets students show off their knowledge in exciting trivia matches with other schools. The Liberty Middle School library is a place where learning, creativity, and fun thrive!
History Comes Alive
Liberty Middle School is home to the former Crouch School, a one-room schoolhouse open from 1874 to the 1920s. Today, the Crouch Schoolhouse offers visitors a glimpse into the past with its original furnishings and artifacts. This historical site provides a unique educational experience for our students and community members, and it’s also used for Social Studies lessons, Science lessons, and our after-school program.
Beautiful Outdoor Spaces
Liberty Middle School is surrounded by nature, which empowers students with hands-on learning opportunities. This includes MWEE (Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience), a science activity made possible by our school’s forest and water features. We provide dedicated time for students to reset and enjoy the outdoors before lunch, and our PE classes have great fields and a running trail. We also host the FCPS cross-county finals due to the size and beauty of our campus!
