About

Welcome to Amesbury Middle School!

Amesbury Middle School is a 6-8 middle school with approximately 380 students, and is unconditionally committed to the educational growth and progress of every student.  The district offers an extensive staff development program that lays the foundation for teachers to implement best practices, such as standard-based education, differentiated instruction, and reading and writing across all disciplines. Amesbury Middle School maintains a school focus on learning through researched best practices in teaching and data driven decisions.  We are committed to meeting the goals and objectives for our students through our dedication towards developing high functioning teaching teams, flexible scheduling, tiered support services, and fostering a professional learning atmosphere within our school community.  We have a strong community support system from our Parent Advisory Group, School Council and the Amesbury Educational Foundation. 

In keeping with Middle School Philosophy, we provide an educational experience that is committed to developing the whole adolescent.  We have an excellent music and arts program that fosters creativity.  Our middle school community provides all students with an excellent education and a wide range of after school clubs and activities. 

Amesbury Middle School boasts a longstanding tradition of excellence. At the core of that tradition is a caring and committed teaching staff that provides many opportunities for student learning and success. It continues to be our challenge to make middle school as meaningful as possible to the 21st century student. Our goal is to ensure that all of our diverse student population are challenged to reach their fullest potential by offering a rigorous academic environment coupled with the social-emotional supports that are essential for their success.

The AMS Family, including teachers, administrators and support staff, welcomes you to participate in your child's education. The success of our students in both academics and emotional development is remarkable, but will only reach its fullest potential when we all work together. Please join us in making your child's middle school experience a meaningful and rewarding one.
