Marietta Sixth Grade Academy

Marietta Sixth Grade Academy (MSGA) serves as a specialized transition school within the Marietta City Schools district, uniquely dedicated to students in their first year of middle school. By focusing exclusively on the sixth-grade experience, the academy aims to bridge the gap between the elementary and secondary environments. This targeted approach allows the faculty to provide tailored academic and social-emotional support, helping students navigate the shift from a self-contained classroom model to a more departmentalized middle school structure while building foundational habits for future success.

The school places a strong emphasis on fostering a collaborative community, often utilizing team-based teaching strategies that encourage both academic growth and character development. Located on Aviation Road in Marietta, Georgia, MSGA is integrated into the city’s broader educational mission of cultivating globally competitive students. Through a combination of rigorous curriculum and age-appropriate extracurricular opportunities, the academy strives to create a supportive, student-centered culture that prepares young learners for the increased expectations they will encounter in grades seven through twelve.
