Guided by our core value, “Enter Here to Be and Find a Friend,” we prioritize community, connection and character. Our curriculum sparks curiosity and a love of learning, while our advisory program instills such values as respect, responsibility and empathy. This balanced approach prepares students for success in school and life.
Preparing Students for the Next Stage
Hackley’s Middle School lays the foundation for success in Upper School and beyond. Students learn to think critically, collaborate effectively and approach challenges with confidence. Our dynamic and robust academic offerings blend innovative technology with hands-on learning, encouraging exploration and creativity. Our facilities, such as the Johnson Center for Health and Wellness and the Allen Center for the Creative Arts and Technology, enhance the student experience, supporting physical well-being, artistic expression and interdisciplinary learning. These resources help students develop independence, resilience and a strong sense of purpose.
Distinctive Experiences That Inspire Growth
