Continuing with the “cathedral” motif, Dominion Academy students move from the Cathedral School to the Junior High (or “Bell Tower”) program. Just as a cathedral's bell tower provides structure and clarity, our junior high program for grades 7 and 8 elevates students from the foundational learning of the Grammar stage to the focused reasoning of the Logic stage. At this pivotal point in their classical journey, students begin to analyze, question, and connect the knowledge they have accumulated in the Cathedral School. The Bell Tower program cultivates the capacity for discernment, preparing them to articulate truth with conviction in their high school years.
Dominion Academy’s junior high blends the five-day program with a collegiate model schedule, with classes meeting once or twice a week. This fosters students’ developing independence and organizational skills, crucial for future academic success.
Student Life
Junior high students have many opportunities to get involved and belong. From Student Government to intramural sports and athletics, students are encouraged to try new things, build friendships, and grow in confidence as active members of the school community.
