Middle School

At The Cottonwood School, our middle school experience is designed to support students as they transition toward greater academic independence and leadership through a variety of personalized opportunities. One standout option is the Cottonwood Virtual Academy – Middle School, which offers a vibrant community with live instruction in all four core subjects and new flex-based pathways for Science and Social Studies. For families following a traditional home study path, a dedicated Homeschool Teacher (HST) serves as a vital partner, providing expert guidance and tailored curriculum support to ensure each student thrives. Beyond the core academics, students are encouraged to find their voice through the Teen Leadership Committee and celebrate their achievements by joining the National Junior Honor Society. By blending these robust academic choices with specialized electives and community connections, we empower our middle schoolers to build the agency and growth mindset necessary for high school success.
