Middle School Program
A 26-Month Journey of Academic Enrichment and Growth
Students begin their Reach journey in the summer after 6th grade and participate in a 26-month program designed to build a strong academic foundation, foster personal growth, and prepare them for success in selective high schools.
Students attend three consecutive summers of five weeks each, complemented by Saturday sessions during the school year of 7th and 8th grade. Afternoon electives and field trips across Atlanta broaden their horizons, build community, and create a sense of belonging.”
The academic core includes:
English Language Arts and Math for foundational skills
Computer Science and Critical Thinking to develop problem-solving abilities
Science to spark curiosity and deepen content knowledge
SSAT Workshops to prepare students for competitive admissions
Beyond the Classroom
Reach for Excellence enriches students’ learning through electives in visual arts (drawing, graphic design, crochet), etiquette, and physical fitness. Off-campus field experiences during the summer broaden students’ horizons, spark curiosity, and build cultural awareness.
Pathway to High School Success
Reach supports students and families through every stage of the high school selection and admissions process. Students take a High School Choice class and receive comprehensive admissions and financial aid counseling, including SSAT prep and test fee coverage. A high school fair, mock interviews, and a decision retreat equip families with the tools and confidence to make informed choices.
