Middle School at GA, in its purist form, is a series of moments that create opportunities for transformational experiences: sixth graders explore an author in-depth during their author study project; seventh graders travel to Boston; eighth graders immerse themselves in complex and detailed science fair projects. 学生领导部门早会,周五下午一起滑雪,并参加 community service; advisees develop important relationships with their advisor and learn to become self-advocates who are active participants in their learning; athletes participate, defend and score; artists and actors 练习、表演、展示……这样的例子不胜枚举.

Innovative Programs

Leadership Lab

1:1 Tablet PC Program

1:1的平板电脑计划为我们的学生提供了接触世界的机会,并加强了与老师的交流. 除了在每节课上使用平板电脑,每天晚上把它们带回家, 学生们每轮也要上一次技术课程.

在她的阴影日结束时,我问她感觉如何,她用的词是“振奋”."

我永远不会忘记这句话,当时我还是个五年级的学生. 那时我就知道GA是适合她的地方.

在这里的两年里,她参加了高级课程,甚至有一个学期的成绩都是a. She is definitely where she needs to be.
