A Specialized Pathway to Success

We take pride in the uniqueness and individuality of all our students. Each day, our faculty and staff enter the building ready to educate, encourage, and celebrate the success of a diverse group of students, many of whom speak English as a second language. We offer a differentiated learning path for students who recently immigrated to the United States and those who are learning the English language. This program allows these students to focus on academics while also learning how to transition to American culture in a safe and nurturing learning environment.

We Nurture the whole child

Southside Middle School students see our campus as a home away from home where they feel academically challenged and emotionally supported. Our students flourish in various levels of academic coursework, including our International Baccalaureate program, while also being intensely supported mentally, socially and physically. Students enjoy our vast number of extracurricular activities that include Anime, chess, computer, drama, gardening, journalism, and more. Southside Middle is a welcoming school that nurtures the whole child and values their individuality.

Your Family is Our Family

Once students enroll in our school, we consider them a part of our family. In doing so, we join their parents and caregivers in the mission to nourish and develop a well-rounded student who will thrive academically while also becoming an essential part of our community. Southside Middle School works to build students' confidence as they learn the English language and American culture. Our goal is to ensure families know their child is safe, supported, and academically challenged at our school.

The Duval Schools Difference

As an A-rated school district, we have made extraordinary progress in student achievement with an unwavering focus on learning.
