AMLE Schools of Distinction

AMLE Schools of Distinction is both a recognition and continuous improvement program open to any school that educates students aged 10-15. Schools will be celebrated for their commitment to the middle grades best practices outlined in AMLE’s foundational text, The Successful Middle School: This We Believe, while also being guided through a process of self-assessment and strategic vision setting to help foster ongoing growth and success. The program aims to:

1. Recognize and celebrate schools that are committed to implementing the essential attributes and characteristics of successful middle grades schools.
2. Provide ALL schools that support young adolescents with the resources to support their continuous improvement journeys.
3. Create a network of schools that can learn from and support each other.
4. Highlight for our communities the exceptional work that takes place every day in middle level education.
