The Middle School at Greenwich Academy seeks to help girls aged 10-14 in Groups V through VIII gain skills for academic, interpersonal, athletic and artistic development. In a supportive environment, students learn to access and analyze information and to articulate a clear point of view.

By the time girls leave the Middle School, they should appreciate the value of being independent learners and creative problem solvers. Through a clearly defined curriculum, middle school students are expected to develop stronger writing, speaking and quantitative skills. Recognizing that both developmental and learning difference abound, we strive to give individual support while maintaining high academic standards. In light of the fact that the middle school years are a time of tremendous personal and intellectual change, we believe that middle school students will grow through their failures as well as through their successes. Girls are expected to function effectively as part of a group, as well as independently. An advisory program, assemblies, leadership and community service opportunities, frequent communication among the faculty, and periodic conversations with parents support our objective to teach the whole child and send students to the Upper School who appreciate the value of life-long learning.
