Co-Curriculars
At the Academy, we recognize that education goes far beyond the classroom, and that's why we offer a vibrant array of co-curricular activities tailored specifically for our middle school students. These co-curriculars are designed to complement our academic program, providing students with opportunities to explore their passions, develop new skills, and build lifelong friendships. Whether it's through participation in clubs, athletics, the arts, or community service initiatives, our Middle School co-curricular offerings empower students to discover their unique talents, foster teamwork and leadership skills, and cultivate a sense of belonging within our close-knit school community.

Community time Clubs
Every middle school student participates in clubs as part of the regular schedule. Clubs meet during community time, ensuring that all students can get involved without adding extra after-school commitments. With over 20 offerings each year, clubs provide opportunities for students to explore new interests, develop leadership skills, and build friendships across grade levels. Because clubs are semester-based, students enjoy the chance to try multiple experiences throughout the school year.

Extracurricular clubs
In addition to our scheduled community-time clubs, middle school students can take part in a variety of leadership organizations and interest-based clubs that meet during lunch or after school. These groups allow students to dive deeper into their passions, develop responsibility, and serve as leaders within the school community. From student council and service organizations to special interest groups, these clubs give students the chance to build friendships, grow in confidence, and make a meaningful impact beyond the classroom.
