Middle School
Welcome to the Middle School!
The Middle School years are complex. Combine Middle School with a learning challenge and these years can be daunting.
Being different from your peers is tough, especially in a classroom where other students are "typical" learners. That difference often becomes the focus, which is damaging to an already fragile self-esteem.
At Eton Academy, our program is designed to address the complexities of middle school. Our students feel safe, supported and comfortable at Eton, allowing them the freedom to build self-confidence and social skills.
Personal Attention Makes the Difference

Personal Attention Makes the Difference
With fewer than 10 students in a class, Eton teachers know their students well, providing education and guidance in daily life, peer relationships and social awareness.
Eton's specially trained teachers strive to achieve concept mastery through multi-sensory instruction methodologies. While teaching specific curriculum topics, teachers skillfully incorporate instruction on critical life skills, resulting in future academic success.
