In the educational research literature arising out of the United States, it is generally accepted that the transition from elementary to middle school is challenging for students. These challenges appear to range from issues regarding space, pubescent changes, sexuality, emotional forces, friendships, and interaction with adults. However, while there is a great deal of literature focusing on this period of change that âmiddle school children face, and an almost universal acceptance that it is perhaps âone of the most critical time frames, there appears to be little research grounded in how these students themselves see and understand this period.ââ

This study seeks to address this gap by using the middle school class at San Roque School, Santa Barbara, California as respondents. Through a series of semi â structured reflective interviews the students at this school believed it was a period with greater emotional and psychological gravity than previously reported. In summary, for this cohort of respondents this transition was a time of âlearning how to beâ in which they needed emotional guidance, security and opportunities to unpack and discuss their issues. For those who had the opportunity to reflect and move on reported a heightened sense of personal well being and a growing into themselves.
