The Class of 2025 Middle School Acceptances

A Portrait of a Belmont Oaks Academy Student

At Belmont Oaks Academy, we nurture students who grow into confident, curious, and compassionate individuals. Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, strengthen critical thinking, and encourage children to see themselves as active members of a wider world.

Together, these values help define who our students are:

Curious Thinkers - Students explore new ideas with enthusiasm. They ask thoughtful questions, think critically, and look for creative solutions.

Compassionate Community Members - We cultivate a welcoming community where students learn to value different perspectives. They practice kindness, show respect, and contribute positively to those around them.

Responsible Global Citizens - Students gain an understanding of their place in a diverse and interconnected world. They learn to appreciate cultural differences and are encouraged to act with purpose in their communities and beyond.

Resilient Leaders of Character - We guide students in building integrity, resilience, and perseverance. They learn to embrace challenges, work through setbacks, and maintain a growth mindset.

Joyful Lifelong Learners - Students are encouraged to explore their interests, pursue new opportunities, and develop a love of learning that continues well beyond their years at Belmont Oaks Academy.

 

Middle School Placement

Over the years, our school has developed and maintained strong relationships with independent, parochial and public middle schools throughout the Peninsula. Our reputation with the various schools is exceptional as each year our alumni pave the way for our future graduates because of the strong foundation they received at our school. BOA students are well-rounded students with a passion for learning. Often, admission directors will comment how they recognize a "BOA Student" within the first few minutes of a campus visit due to their confident communication skills. Whether you plan on sending your child to an independent middle school, parochial school or public school your child will be prepared with a strong foundation for future success.

 

Middle School Process

At the start of the 5th grade year, our elementary principal and 5th grade teacher support the students and families during the middle school application process. The principal encourages families to schedule a meeting to discuss the various middle schools and "best fit" options. Throughout the process, our principal and 4th/5th grade teachers provide recommendations and promote each student at his or her schools of choice.
