About Middle School

Welcome to Center Point-Urbana Middle School!

Thank you for visiting the Center Point-Urbana Middle School website. Our MS Vision is: Together We Lead, Learn, and Grow. We recognize the unique challenges that come with middle school and embrace our responsibility to educate the whole child. The CPU Middle School staff is committed to helping each student discover and develop their individual gifts.

Center Point-Urbana Middle School is located at 613 Summit Street in Center Point, Iowa, and serves approximately 300 students in grades 6–8. Our building includes over 25 classrooms, a full-size gym and stage, two music rooms, a library, and a dedicated lunchroom. Our team includes more than 40 highly dedicated staff members.

CPU Middle School offers core academic courses—Math, Language Arts, Literature, Science, and Social Studies—along with Exploratory/Specials at each grade level such as Wellness, General Music, Art, Computer Science, S.O.A.R. (Guidance), Physical Education, and a Talented and Gifted (TAG) program. Students also have the opportunity to participate in Band and/or Choir.

Our daily schedule includes built-in intervention time to support Math and Reading/Literacy skills, as well as dedicated instruction in Social-Emotional and Behavioral Health (SEBH) provided by our school counselor for all students. We also deliver weekly CharacterStrong lessons to help foster positive relationships and strong character development.

In addition to our academic programming, CPU Middle School offers a wide variety of extra- and co-curricular activities to engage students beyond the classroom and support their growth as well-rounded individuals.

At CPU Middle School, our work is guided by our Collective Commitments:

• We commit to encouraging the application of skills that transfer to life beyond the classroom.
• We commit to fostering a culture of belonging by seeking first to understand.
• We commit to a curriculum that is accessible to ALL through a variety of instructional practices.
