Welcome to Our 5th-8th Grade Campus!
At Sonder Creek Academy, our Upper School program is designed to bridge the gap between elementary school and high school, giving students the academic and personal skills they need to thrive in their next educational journey.
A High-School-Like Structure
Specialized Subject Teachers
Students begin each day with a short homeroom period, followed by individual classes taught by subject-matter experts.
Independent Learning
Students are responsible for tracking homework, projects, and tests across multiple classes—building the accountability and organizational skills needed for success in high school and beyond.
A Supportive and Respectful Environment
Positive School Culture
While junior high years come with natural social pressures, we actively foster a respectful and inclusive environment that helps students build confidence and community.
School Uniforms
Our uniform policy is designed to reduce the daily stress of choosing outfits, helping students focus more on learning and less on appearance pressures—a benefit that’s especially important during these formative years.
Balanced Structure and Discipline
We are understanding of students’ needs, but also maintain clear expectations. Our smaller size gives us the ability to address discipline thoughtfully and effectively—something larger schools often struggle to do.
Community Connection
Our campus is large enough for students to find their own groups of friends, but small enough to maintain a strong sense of community and mutual respect.
Setting Students Up for Success
Dynamic Learning Approach
Classes combine traditional academics with hands-on activities, group projects, individual research, and out-of-school experiences that bring lessons to life.
Strong Foundation
Through academics, personal development, and a supportive community, students leave Sonder Creek Academy ready to tackle high school with pride—and carry the spirit of SCA with them as proud alumni for life.
Academic PathwayS
Standard and honors pathways in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
At Sonder Creek Academy’s Upper Campus, students are placed in courses that best support their growth, challenge their thinking, and prepare them for high school and beyond. Our curriculum offers both standard and accelerated options, including Honors and Pre-AP tracks, to meet a wide range of learning needs and academic goals.
