Yeshivat Akiva - Middle School/Upper School

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.

Famous quotes containing the words middle, school and/or upper:

    In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
    They never cared for school anyway.
    And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
    And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
