Middle School
The Academy’s Middle School supports the journey of each individual as they successfully transition into adolescence. We do this by creating a safe, inclusive, and productive environment supported by a strong community and excellent relationships. Individual classroom walls and boundaries of a single content area are blurred through complex, thematic units that integrate language arts, science, and social studies. Teachers guide the math experience by choosing instruction that favors collaboration, discussion, and movement. Students are invited to use both hands and minds while grappling with real-world issues. A diverse offering of electives, service learning, outdoor education, clubs, and competitive sports allow students to explore their sense of self within the world. Leadership opportunities, portfolios, and events celebrating the work of thematic units empower students to lead their education.
