Welcome to John J. Ahern Middle School

At the Ahern Middle School, we strive to create an environment that fosters the academic, social, and emotional needs of every student, in every classroom, every day. Serving 750 students in grades 5 through 8, we aim to ensure every student knows they belong, they matter, they are valued, and they can be successful here. Our Ahern Constitution is a student-created set of core values and school-wide academic and behavioral expectations. The five overarching values to which our students hold themselves and one another accountable are: Be Respectful and Kind; Be Responsible and Engaged Learners; Be Inclusive; Be Safe; Be the Best Version of Ourselves.Every curricular program is aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and reflects high standards for academic performance. In addition to English language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, and world language, students regularly attend classes in wellness, music, art and STEM. We are thrilled to be able to offer several Project Lead the Way courses, including Automation and Robotics, Medical Detectives, Green Architecture, Computer Science for Innovators, and App Creators. Students in grade 8 study civics for their social studies course. Each year in this course, students collaborate in small groups on projects meant to make meaningful change in their school, local community, or state.Our talented, experienced teachers and staff work collaboratively to create an inclusive and nurturing learning environment that acknowledges, respects, and celebrates each learner’s background, learning style and diverse needs. Teachers incorporate a variety of instructional strategies to differentiate instruction and meet the wide range of children’s learning needs. Our staff is committed to working with each child to meet her/his individual needs.We recognize that preadolescence/adolescence is perhaps the most rapidly changing time in a person’s life and are sensitive to the social and emotional development of our students. We give our students their best opportunities for success when home and school are working collaboratively together.
