Rising 6th-9th Grade

6th graders are special! While some rising 6th graders are ready to jump into Middle School, others prefer one last summer with the comfort and familiarity of Primary School friends and programming. Please consider your student’s preference and development needs when choosing between session-long Fabulous Friends or à la carte Tweens and Teens programs.
