Sixth Grade Academy
Sixth grade is a significant transitional year for most students. Navigating the expectations of multiple teachers, class changes every period, moving about a larger campus, keeping everything organized, meeting new people and making new friends can be overwhelming. The Sixth Grade Academy is designed to ease the transition between elementary and middle school.
Saint Joseph's addresses these concerns with our Sixth Grade Academy. All core classes are located together on one wing, along with 6th grade lockers. Students are supported by a dedicated teaching team and a school counselor who is housed on our Academy floor. The Sixth Grade Academy is intentionally designed to provide our youngest students with just the right amount of independence while still walking alongside them as they bolster their skills of self-advocacy, accountability and good judgment.
