Introduction to Middle School: 6th Grade Cohort Program

Back by popular demand, Geffen Academy is delighted to offer a dedicated 6th grade Cohort Program, designed to give rising middle schoolers a full day immersed in inquiry, joyful learning, collaboration, and fun. Join us this year for a full day of middle school enrichment. This program invites students to experience the rhythm of middle school while engaging in hands‑on, curiosity‑driven enrichment.

Rising 6th graders can look forward to five 50-minute classes, including I-Track (Makerspace), Art (Ceramics, Drawing & Painting), PE, Fitness, and Nutrition, Middle School Essentials (joyful study skills), and Drama (Creative Writing/Reading) throughout the day. Each course is thoughtfully crafted to nurture emerging independence, spark creativity, and build confidence as students step into the next stage of their academic journey. Students will move through the day with their cohort, enjoying a 30-minute lunch break with Educators and peers. This three-week program will provide an exciting opportunity for students to connect with curious, like-minded peers and explore Geffen Academy's academic and extracurricular offerings. 

Note: Students must have successfully completed the first marking period of 5th grade to register for Geffen Academy 6th Grade Foundations.
