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.

And the wealth of its soil has borne many another fruit:
A mairie, a school and an elegant Salle de Fetes.
Such blessings, as I remarked, in effect, to the waiter,
Are added unto them that have plenty of water.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)
“The stately Homes of England,
How beautiful they stand,
To prove the upper classes
Have still the upper hand.”
