Middle School

The Perfect Place To Spark Your Potential

At Worcester Academy, we understand that Middle School is a critical time in everyone’s personal and academic development. Here, students are not only known, they’re given the kind of personalized attention that sets them on a path toward lifelong success.

I think the best schools develop students in a holistic manner. What we want is kids who give back to society and are good citizens. That has to be taught explicitly.

Advisory Program

Intentional Support And Growth-Minded Guidance

Our advisory program is a unique feature of our curriculum that significantly enhances the development of our Middle School students. In addition to assemblies and events, our advisory content is intentionally woven into students’ daily schedule, giving them a consistent foundation for understanding and implementing what they learn.

With an average 10:1 advisor-to-student ratio, your child is always seen and supported.

Students meet with their groups daily to discuss grade-specific topics like cultural awareness, physical and mental health, relationships, gratitude, bullying, and the effects of social media. They also engage in friendly competitions and collaborative activities that build confidence and communication skills.
