Welcome to Middle School | 6th-8th Grade
At Atlanta Academy, a 2024 National Blue Ribbon School, we offer a learning environment where middle school students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our Middle School program emphasizes high expectations, leadership, creativity, and social responsibility.
Our personalized approach ensures that your child receives the support they need to succeed. Over 94% of our graduates are accepted into their top-choice high schools, thanks to a curriculum that fosters critical thinking, study skills, and personal growth.
Students are encouraged to identify mathematical relationships and create solution strategies to problems. They explore topics graphically, analytically, verbally, and numerically.
Students become independent, fluent readers by reading a variety of genres and learning vocabulary, reading strategies and new perspectives. Students grow from connecting their own experiences to the material they read.
Students develop language and research skills for oral and written communication, and learn to assess their writing through self evaluation and peer and teacher feedback. As a result, students learn to communicate effectively while making connections with other course work.
Middle School science provides every student with the tools to explore our world and become an ethical, compassionate contributor. We believe that hands on experimentation and teamwork are essential to studying science.
Our Social Studies curriculum prepares students to become responsible and productive global citizens. Being a diverse school, we embrace the opportunity to learn about other countries, cultures, and customs.
Middle School Spanish is delivered in an immersion style experience. Exposure to a different language and culture broadens students’ world views, enhances their sense of empathy and promotes curiosity about the world
Social Emotional Learning is key to developing a well-rounded student. Self awareness, self management, responsible decision making, relationship skills and social awareness are core competencies that educate hearts, inspire minds, and help people navigate the world more effectively
