Middle School/Upper School
In the past, the Akiva "upper school" started in 7th grade. In the 2007-2008 school year, 6th grade became a transition year, with classes in the morning for secular studies and Judaic studies in the afternoon. The sixth grade is thus able to participate in upper school activities as well.
