MIDDLE SCHOOL STEPS 7-8

Middle School STEPS 7-8 is a public middle school that is part of the Stratford School District school district, located in Stratford, CT offering grade levels from 7th Grade to 8th Grade.

The **Middle School STEPS (Specialized Treatment, Education, and Prevention Services) program**, located at 150 Lincoln Street in Stratford, Connecticut, is a specialized educational environment designed to support students in grades 7 and 8 who require more intensive behavioral, social-emotional, or therapeutic intervention than a traditional classroom setting provides. The program operates with a focus on integrating academic instruction with clinical support, aiming to help students manage challenges that may interfere with their learning. By fostering a highly structured and supportive atmosphere, the school strives to keep students on track academically while equipping them with the coping mechanisms and social skills necessary for personal growth.

Because the STEPS program is tailored for students who benefit from a smaller, more individualized educational experience, the curriculum is often designed to be flexible and highly responsive to student needs. The faculty typically works in tandem with mental health professionals to ensure that the environment remains safe, inclusive, and conducive to progress. Ultimately, the goal of the Stratford STEPS program is to provide students with the stability and tools they need to overcome specific barriers to success, with the objective of preparing them for a smooth transition back into the general education setting or further secondary schooling.
