Goddard Public Schools is home to two intermediate school buildings welcoming students in fifth and sixth grade.

During their two years in intermediate school, students will:

• Experience a gradual transition from self-contained classrooms to more departmentalized classrooms.
• Practice, refine, and grow academic skills to lay a solid foundation for the years ahead. 
• Experience opportunities to practice balancing more freedoms with more responsibilities. 
• Have opportunities to participate in some extracurricular activities (may vary by grade and/or school).

The role of the intermediate school staff includes:

• Continuing to educate the whole child – academically, physically, and socially. 
• Catering to the unique needs of emerging adolescence.  
• Supporting students as they continue to grow and develop in physical, social, and emotional maturity.
