Middle School at Grey Eyed Owl
Building Strong Academic Foundations
Middle School is more than a bridge between childhood and adolescence; it is the bedrock upon which a lifetime of intellectual and personal growth is built.
Our Middle School programs are designed to cultivate not only subject mastery in reading, writing, scientific inquiry, and problem solving but also the critical habits of mind — focus, resilience, organization, and curiosity — that will serve our young owls for years to come.
These are the years when a student begins to glimpse the full expanse of their intellectual landscape. Algebra I, Medieval History, the laws of motion, the rhythm of a well-turned phrase — in Middle School, ideas gain shape and depth.
Summer months provide fertile ground for inspiration — a time to chase curiosity, spark new interests, and gather the early kindling of future passions.
The ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT are gateways to opportunity. We believe these rigorous exams should be approached not with fear, but with the cleverness and bravery of quiet mastery.
Should your student be applying to High School, the GEO family will help ensure that their application is not only well-prepared but deeply personal. We help each student express who they are and find the right environment for them to flourish.
The GEO Student Journey is imbued with a quest for deeper understanding and self-discovery.
Each challenge mastered enhances their intellectual resilience and curiosity, ensuring they emerge not only as scholars, but also wise thinkers ready for the vast adventures that lie ahead. At Grey Eyed Owl, students learn to approach the world’s mysteries as insightful individuals capable of changing the very landscapes they explore.

And what I shall assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me
as good belongs to you.”
