Middle School

Middle school at Ann and Nate Levine Academy offers a rigorous academic program, covering language arts, math, social studies, science, Hebrew, and Jewish studies. Students in fifth through eighth grade are encouraged to think creatively and challenge themselves and their peers to reach new levels of achievement.

The middle school experience emphasizes individual development, self-responsibility, being a positive member of the school community and the community at large, and being an active participant in one's own learning. Our outstanding teachers emphasize higher-order thinking skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Outside the classroom, students have many opportunities to nurture their own interests and unique abilities. Students may choose to try out his or her leadership skills by participating in Student Congress, Student Ambassador program, National Junior Honor Society or Va'ad Tefillah, a group that coordinates regular services. There are also many opportunities for participation in state, national, and worldwide competitions in the areas of language arts, current events, social studies, Hebrew language, writing, and math.

Middle schoolers also have outstanding opportunities to experience their world through travel to through historic Texas, Washington, D.C., New York, and Israel.

Levine Academy Middle School students study Hebrew for five hours, Judaica for six hours and Tefillah for five hours each week, learning selections from the Tanach with classical and modern commentators. The study of history progresses from ancient through the rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods. All Middle School students participate in a program of Jewish ethics and values, which centers on respect, relationships, and personal growth. Jewish holidays and special commemorative days have special educational units and programming.

With so many opportunities to learn and achieve both inside and outside the classroom, students leave Levine Academy well-prepared to excel in the challenging high school years and beyond.

Please take a moment to read a few of the speeches given by our eighth grade students at their respective graduations.
