A Challenging and Engaging Program for Bright and Curious Learners

Rippowam Cisqua School is an independent day school with a middle school program for Grades 5-9 that caters to each child's academic, social, and emotional development. Play, discovery, and experimentation permeate throughout the curriculum, making every day an adventure.
We help students reach their full capacity as learners. Our program values original thought and exploration by balancing freedom and structure with innovation and tradition. We celebrate initiative and challenge students to take risks to spark new interests. The result is a dynamic curriculum that is both rigorous and individualized.

Middle school matters - a lot. One of the most significant advantages of our program is the energy, attention, and importance we place on the most crucial and essential years in a child’s education. Our expert faculty understand the socio-emotional dynamics that arise in middle school and teach students how to manage their emotions and build positive relationships.
