The Union 6th-7th Grade Center, located at 10100 East 61st Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is a specialized transitional campus within the Union Public Schools district. Designed specifically to serve the unique developmental needs of middle-level students, the school acts as a bridge between the elementary experience and the more rigorous academic expectations of the upper secondary grades. By isolating the 6th and 7th grades, the center creates a focused environment where students can navigate the social and academic challenges of early adolescence with age-appropriate support and guidance.

As part of the larger Union Public Schools system, the center emphasizes a "community-within-a-community" philosophy, fostering a sense of belonging while preparing students for the transition to the Union 8th Grade Center and eventually the high school. The school offers a comprehensive curriculum that balances core academic subjects with elective opportunities, technology integration, and extracurricular activities. By focusing on a narrow grade range, the faculty is able to implement specialized instructional strategies and social-emotional programs tailored to this specific age group, ensuring students are well-prepared for their future academic journeys.
