Middle School | Grades 7-8

Denver Academy's Middle School

Denver Academy's middle school is a different experience than at any other middle school. We recognize that our students are at a crossroads between their elementary and adult years and we are trained (and thrilled!) to help guide them successfully through this transition.

Students emerge from the DA Middle School experience with the tools necessary to be successful in high school and with an understanding that the time has come for them to take full ownership of their education."

Academics

Our teachers have a specific goal in mind: bringing quality education to our students. A homeroom teacher oversees instruction for literature, character education, and English which is approximately 2.5 hours of a student's school day. This allows for cross-curriculum themes and establishes one teacher as a student's main advocate, cheerleader, and academic coach.

We also differentiate instruction so that a diverse group of students' needs can be met, from remediation of basic skills to instructing twice-exceptional and gifted students. Essentially, each student receives a customized learning plan.
