Private Middle School

Fusion Academy offers a completely personalized private middle school experience. From classes to scheduling, everything is customized around your student. We balance academics and socialization to create a private junior high school experience unlike any other. Private middle school classes at Fusion Academy are 1-to-1: just 1 student and 1 teacher per class. Teachers match your child’s pace and preferences so they can learn better, dive deeper, and never get left behind. Schedules are customized around your family’s goals and plans. Students connect and collaborate with peers in a safe and structured environment. Coursework is completed as part of the school day. Daily reports for each class session are communicated to parents from your student’s teachers. NOTE: Tuition rates are calculated per course, per term and will vary based on the student’s custom curriculum.
