The 6th Grade Academy is a “school-within-a-school.” Lehigh Acres Middle School was the first middle school in Lee County to adopt this concept. It aims to provide a smooth transition while nurturing our 6th grade scholars through this critical period by providing a more supportive instructional environment. It is designed to meet our scholars changing physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs.
Our Academy builds a foundation and offers support with common organizational strategies and structures that will allow them to be successful in middle school. 6th graders to have a team of core instructional teachers that work together and plan for your scholar’s success.
Each hallway dedicated to the 6th Grade Academy serves 6th grade scholars only. They also have their own lunch period.
