Welcome to the Middle School

Middle school at TA begins in 5th grade and continues through 8th, bringing four years filled with energy, discovery, and growth. In our close-knit school community, teachers know their students well and work together to provide opportunities in academics, arts, and athletics. By the time your child moves on from middle school, they will have gained not only important skills, but also a treasure of experiences that shape who they are becoming.

These years are about more than tests and homework—they are a time to make friends, have fun, and celebrate milestones big and small. Students learn how to speak up for themselves, show kindness, and work both independently and as part of a team. They begin to reflect on their learning, discover their strengths, and see how effort and persistence help them grow.

We look forward to sharing this exciting season with your family, as your child takes on new challenges, builds lasting friendships, and creates memories that will stay with them well beyond middle school.
