"What I love most about GCA is the teachers! They make GCA, GCA."
Early Middle School
5TH - 6TH GRADE
The Early Middle division, designated specifically for 5th and 6th grade students, offers tremendous benefit and opportunity to develop important skills during this critical life stage. The Early Middle Division was created to bridge the gap between the Lower School and Middle School years and meet the needs of students in this important transitional period.
Academic Program
5th and 6th grade teachers utilize traditional instructional practices with a heavy emphasis on the development of crucial skills Early Middle students will need for Middle School and beyond. This includes study skills, use of lockers, time management, social engagement, and host of other executive functioning tasks.
Enrichment and Extracurricular Activities
Students are engaged in a variety of fine arts opportunities including the chance for 6th graders to compete in our annual Storytelling competition. This division also offers the opportunity for Early Middle students to participate on some GCA sports teams.
