Welcome to Bala Cynwyd Middle School!
With the guidance of a highly talented and dedicated staff and the structure of a rigorous, multi-disciplinary curriculum, students enjoy an individualized experience that prepares them to advance through their schooling as independent thinkers and compassionate, responsible global citizens.
Bala Cynwyd recently welcomed a very special virtual guest—Howard Wright, a proud alumnus from the Class of 1945. The visit offered students a rare, first-person glimpse into what life was like at Bala Cynwyd Junior High during the World War II era!
Bala Cynwyd Middle School’s theater organization, BC Applause, recently staged their spring production of Alice in Wonderland Jr., performing two delightful shows in the Leonard G. Murphy Auditorium!
April is School Library Month! 📚 This month, we recognize the essential role school libraries and librarians play in empowering students, nurturing curiosity and building lifelong learners. Whether it’s sparking a love of reading, guiding research, or creating welcoming spaces for all, school libraries are where imagination and information meet!
Bala Cynwyd Middle School students are making a big impact this holiday season through their participation in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s (CHOP) annual Pajama Day fundraiser!
Find out how you can help them reach their fundraising goal!
