Middle school is a pivotal stage —
a time of rapid growth, expanding independence, and new social and academic challenges. It’s also a moment when many students begin to feel the pressure to keep up in an increasingly fast-paced, tech-heavy world.

At Roots Academy, we choose a different path.

Our middle school program is grounded in strong relationships, meaningful projects, and a deep connection to place. Students are known well by their educators, challenged by work that feels relevant and real, and supported as they build confidence, independence, and a sense of purpose.

Here, middle school isn’t about racing ahead or checking boxes.
It’s about making room — for curiosity, movement, deep thinking, and steady growth that prepares students not just for high school, but for life beyond it.
