Middle School at Hydrostone Academy: A Journey to Thrive

The middle school years can be a challenging and tumultuous time. The Hydrostone Academy’s specialty is providing a nurturing environment in which students thrive, and self-discovery, growth, and learning blossom. Our Middle School experience is designed to help each student feel connected to the community and to explore their unique interests. Small class sizes and attentive teachers foster a caring social environment. Academics are infused with creative, active, and natural experiences. An array of extracurriculars and clubs offer ways for students to find their place and pursue what excites them.

In a world where things are moving so fast and anxiety is on the rise, the Hydrostone Academy Middle School provides a calm environment and the skills students need to ground themselves, focus, and practice kindness. Each morning begins with a gentle yoga sequence to regulate the body and a period of mindfulness meditation to settle the mind. Each day also ends with a moment of mindfulness, allowing students to reflect and decompress. Infusing mindfulness into our school culture empowers students to take on more challenges as they grow older, feeling confident and equipped to manage stress and trust in themselves.

Our teachers hold the space for students to relax and be comfortable while simultaneously challenging them to become better communicators, artists, and scientists. 

In addition to core subjects like English, math, science, and history, students at Hydrostone Academy Middle School benefit from a well-rounded education that includes weekly instruction in art, music, robotics, and drama. Our holistic approach ensures that students develop a love for learning while becoming well-rounded individuals prepared for the future.
