Middle School
The Middle School program at Christina Seix Academy is designed to prepare students for the challenges of private high school, by strengthening their academic and social confidence as well as the scholastic independence they began to exemplify in the Lower School. Through socratic seminars and hands on STEAM labs, students develop and refine their sense of agency and self.
