Mission Statement
The Amherst Middle School aspires to be a community of learners born of respect, trust, and courage. We consciously commit ourselves:
To support and engage an individual's unique gifts, passions, and intentions.
To develop and empower the mind, body, and heart.
To challenge and expand the comfortable limits of thought, tolerance, and performance.
To inspire and honor the active stewardship of family, community, nations, and globe.
The New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) performed a study of AMS in 2008. The final report of that study is available here.
