Middle School

Where young men grow into themselves—academically, socially, and personally—while developing the skills, independence, and character that will carry them forward.

A Middle School Experience that Builds Leaders

At Devon Prep, middle school is more than academics—it’s a time for your son to grow into a confident, capable young man. Our dedicated leadership team, structured support, and flexible curriculum ensure every student is challenged, supported, and inspired.

From navigating the transition to Middle School in sixth grade, to building independence and ownership in seventh grade, to preparing for high school by eighth grade, students develop executive functioning skills, self-confidence, and leadership through engagement, analytical thinking, and mentorship.

Get Ahead with Our Curriculum

Devon Prep Middle School gives students a head start with a curriculum designed for academic challenge and flexibility.

Math

Course placement is determined by a placement exam along with each student’s academic history and experience. With small class sizes, schedules remain flexible—allowing adjustments when needed to ensure every student is in the right level to grow and succeed.

World Language

Beginning in seventh grade, students study a chosen language over two years (Level I). Courses are selected based on student interest, with a clear path into Level II in 9th grade and advanced or AP options in high school.

Flexible Learning

Each student’s schedule is thoughtfully built to reflect their strengths, needs, and interests. A range of elective offerings gives students the opportunity to explore new subjects and begin discovering what they may want to pursue in high school.
