At Southfield School, our 8th graders are thoughtfully supported as they navigate the high school transition process. Planning begins in the spring of their 7th grade year with a dedicated high school transition meeting to help families understand timelines, requirements, and available options. In the fall of 8th grade, students participate in a High School Forum, where they hear directly from teachers, current students, and administrators from a variety of area high schools.
Students are also encouraged to attend high school open houses and take advantage of shadowing opportunities to help them make informed decisions. Throughout the process, we ensure each student receives the necessary documents and guidance to confidently apply and enroll in the next step of their educational journey. Our goal is to empower students and families with information during this important transition.
