Three Page Academy middle school students standing together on campus

Private middle school

Our middle school program serves 6th through 8th grade, and it's designed to carry students into high school with strong academics, critical thinking skills, and real confidence.

Middle school students dive into hands-on exploration, sophisticated research & active presentation, and they step forward excited by what they can do.

Big questions & real answers

Middle school is a time of intellectual, emotional, social, and physical change, and we pay attention to every part of that journey.

Our challenging curriculum builds mastery in the fundamental subjects, while collaborative projects and individual attention keep students curious. They ask big questions, look for meaningful solutions, and begin setting their own educational goals.

We weave social-emotional learning throughout the curriculum, so students learn to grow from success and failure alike and take on leadership roles in the classroom, in campus life, and in the wider community.

What your family can expect in middle school

Small class sizes

Small class sizes mean your child receives individual, one-on-one attention in a well-managed classroom.

Ready for high school

Our curriculum is integrated with the latest technology and promotes the upper-level thinking skills that students need for high school.

Open parent communication

Teachers communicate with each family in person and by email, because we know parent involvement makes a difference.

Instructional technology

Classrooms have interactive SMARTBoards, students have their own tablets, and there are opportunities to use 3D printers and design software.

Research and presentation

Students research, write, and present their work, from the Invention Convention to writing and public speaking competitions.

Leadership and character

Self-aware and empathetic, students take on leadership roles and grow with a strong moral compass that guides them for life.

Finding their voice & using it

By 8th grade, Page students have presented their research, spoken in front of an audience, and learned how to lead.
