Grade 10
Grade 10 at SPA is the spark between beginnings and breakthroughs—building on the Grade 9 experience while preparing students to thrive in the demanding and rewarding rigor of the junior and senior years.
With the foundation of Grade 9 in place, students strengthen their confidence and consistency as learners. Our curriculum challenges them to think more abstractly and analytically, setting the stage for the advanced work of our Upper School.
Outside the Classroom
The three most popular areas of Upper School student life are athletics, theatrical and musical ensembles, and student clubs and organizations. Nearly 75% of Upper School students are members of at least one of SPA's 47 athletic teams in 17 sports; and many play an instrument, sing in a choir, or participate in one of the three annual theatrical productions. Finally, most students are members of at least one of the many Upper School student clubs and organizations such as Upper School Council, The Rubicon student newspaper, math team, book club, or Science Alliance.
