Why Heronfield Academy?

There is no greater period in the lives of young people than the middle school years.

At Heronfield, we think deeply about the arc of the middle school years, a period of physical, social, and emotional development only matched by the first three years of a child’s life. By dedicating our energies, passions, and resources to students in grades 6, 7, and 8, we are able to take advantage of the ways that young people’s minds are opening and how they are learning to engage with others and with the world around them.

Each experience at Heronfield – from new student orientation before the year begins to eighth grade graduation in June – is considered with the student in mind, and we are inspired by the difference that Heronfield makes in the lives of students and their families.
