The K-8 Experience
As a K-8 school, High Point Academy has a distinct and unique aura with a different tone and culture than a K-6 or a K-12 school. High Point's K-8 configuration is rich in value and strength.
Students enrolling in kindergarten experience a continuing commitment for nine years. Graduates are equipped with excellent character and leadership, critical and creative thinking skills, a strong academic foundation for high school, and develop a life-long connection and bond with High Point.

- High Point faculty are experts in meeting the academic, athletic, artistic, and social needs of the K-8 grade learner.
- High Point provides age-appropriate expectations for the K-8 learner. In junior high, we do not merely imitate high school. Instead, we prepare our graduates for high school.
- High Point allows time for students to discover themselves as learners, leaders, citizens, visual and performing artists, and athletes prior to making informed decisions about high school.
- High Point students do not grow up too fast. High Point's environment allows students to experience age-appropriate activities and events, without the influence of high school students.
- High Point graduates are sought after by secondary schools because of the strength of their academic preparation and the strength of their character.
- High Point's secondary school counseling process ensures that students are placed in high schools in which they will thrive and flourish.
- High Point's eighth-grade students are community leaders. Younger children view them as role models; their teachers hold high expectations for them, and they respond accordingly. The comprehensive level of responsibility and leadership vested in our “seniors” gives them a taste of real leadership and allows them to develop the self-confidence that will prepare them for success in high school.
The High Point legacy lasts a lifetime. Students experiencing High Point throughout elementary and junior high develop timeless values, friendships, a strong academic foundation, and a zeal and curiosity for learning that will benefit them throughout their lives.
