Middle School Program
At Rocky Mountain Classical Academy, our Middle School program builds on the strong foundation established in elementary school while preparing students for success in high school and beyond. Through our classical, Core Knowledge curriculum, students engage in rigorous academics that develop critical thinking, effective communication, and a lifelong love of learning.
Students deepen their understanding of literature, history, science, mathematics, and geography while learning to analyze complex ideas, write with purpose, and make meaningful connections across disciplines.
Our Encore program enriches learning through courses such as Spanish, Art, Music, Physical Education, Grammar, Rhetoric & Logic, Financial Literacy, and Leadworthy (Capturing Kids' Hearts), helping students develop creativity, leadership, character, and practical life skills.
