Upper School (Grades 5 - 9)

Grades 5-9

Balancing core capabilities with self-directed learning.

What may be referred to as Middle School in public institutions, we call Upper School at Pike.

In Upper School, every effort is made to balance academic rigor with creative exploration. What makes a Pike education unlike any other is the depth and breadth of those academic and creative opportunities. From studying Latin and firing up the pottery kiln, to arranging an original piece of music, the Upper School experience is about balancing core capabilities with self-directed learning.

“To witness how our students grow, not just academically but also as critical thinkers and empathetic leaders really highlights the agency and self-confidence Pike students develop during their Upper School Journey. The support of our faculty ensures every student feels seen, empowered to take risks, explore new ideas, and reach their fullest potential. ”Kathleen Boucher- Lavigne, Upper School Science Teacher
