Intermediate
Students learn to apply their academic skills, embrace a higher level of independence, and engage in arts-centered, project-based learning in all subjects.
“Being at Lab has made me an extrovert. I’m never afraid to speak my opinion and I feel like Lab is a very welcoming place for that.”
— Lab School Student
Geared toward children ages 10-12, the Intermediate program focuses on growth and transition. Although still “ungraded,” students move to The Lab School’s main campus on Reservoir Road and begin to assume more structure in their daily routine, as attention to executive functioning skills becomes a priority.

Children's Book Author and Illustrator“I didn’t read until I was 14. I didn’t dare have dreams. Why would I? They’d never happen for me,” says the amazing Children’s Book Author and Illustrator Patricia Polacco to her Elementary and Intermediate audiences. “At school, being called to read out loud in front of the class felt like facing a firing squad.”
