Welcome to Middle School at SCH Academy

As parents and educators, we share a special bond: a front-row seat to watching your children grow and evolve, each year a step closer to discovering who they are. On behalf of the Middle School faculty, we are excited to partner with you through these transformative years. Meadow Pepino | Head of Middle School

The Middle School Single-Sex Experience: A Bridge Between Lower and Upper School

At our private middle school in Chestnut Hill, a Philadelphia neighborhood, we are committed to a single-sex academic experience housed in a vibrant co-ed community. The Middle School years are transformative, both academically and socially. When boys and girls step into our classrooms, they are able to shed gender expectations, find their unique voices, and develop a strong sense of self.

Our advisory program and all core classes, including English, history, math, science, arts, and CEL, are single-sex. This aligns with our philosophy for focused and intentional learning environments. Music, world languages, and learning support are coed and multi-grade to create more robust programming. Beyond the classroom, students have the opportunity to connect with all classmates in structured and supervised coed environments, including lunch, recess, electives, community service, and some field trips, building confidence and friendships across the division.
