Gr. 4, 5, 6 and 7

 

 

 

 

Welcome

Greenfield’s Math & Science Academy is an academy of the middle school and serves students in grades 4, 5, 6, and 7.  The academy opened in the fall of 2010 for grade 6 and 7 students. In 2012- 2013, its third year of operation, we expanded to include grades 4 and 5. The overarching goal is acceleration in mathematics and science.

The Math and Science Academy offers a full school program—English, social studies, mathematics, science (physics, chemistry, biology), physical education, music, art, community service, extracurricular activities, robotics, and more. In 2012-2013, the school population is 69 students: 30 students in the lower school (grades 4 & 5) and  39 students in the upper school (grades 6 & 7).

Please explore our site at your leisure. Several movies and slide shows provide information that shows day in the life of an academy student.
