Three separate programs: 

5th Grade Foundations Program
A cohort of rising 5th graders will participate in Geffen Academy's signature courses, including: I-Track (Makerspace), PE, Fitness, and Nutrition, Drama (Creative Writing/Reading), and Art (Ceramics, Drawing, Painting). These courses will be taught by Geffen Academy Educators, with students guided through their day by dedicated staff. All classes will be scaffolded for the rising 5th-grade mindset, with discovery, creativity, and joy at the heart of the program.
Throughout the day, the cohort will have dedicated time for games, playful activities, and team-building experiences. Students will cycle through four 60-minute classes, break for a 30-minute lunch, and have an additional 20-minute break throughout the day. This three-week program provides an exciting opportunity for students to connect with curious, like-minded peers and explore Geffen Academy's academic and extracurricular offerings.
  • Students must have successfully completed the first marking period of 4th grade to register for Geffen Academy 5th Grade Foundations.
  • Courses will run daily for three weeks from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
  • Registration for the 5th Grade Foundations Program is open on a first-come, first-served basis. 

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.
