A Community Where Children Learn, Grow, and Lead Meaningful Lives

A Strong Academic Foundation in a Supportive Middle School Environment

Bethany School’s private middle school program (Grades 6–8) challenges and supports students during a critical stage in their personal development. Through small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a values-based approach, students become confident learners, thoughtful leaders, and compassionate community members.

Our academic program balances rigorous instruction with emotional and social guidance. We give students the skills and self-awareness they need for a successful high school transition.
