Upper Echelon Academy prioritizes the middle grades as a transition period between the elementary and high school years. We foster students’ social development, problem solving, and creativity alongside academic and study skills development. 

Using the best curriculum available in each content area, our middle grade students take challenging core courses and engaging elective options. Students learn study skills and organizational strategies that enable success. Coursework, delivered in individual or group settings, nurtures students’ strengths and develops abilities. UEA middle school students are prepared for success in high school and beyond.


For students on-location in Wellington or Ocala, UEA’s teachers instruct each class in small groups from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Core classes in math, language arts, science, and social studies are held until noon, and students have lunch and free time between noon and 1:00 p.m. Elective classes, including foreign language, take place between 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Students seeking a completely customized schedule have access to UEA’s middle grades curriculum and outstanding teachers with virtual or hybrid options.

“I had never really been a big fan of school. Back in traditional school I always dreaded going into school. Now that I work with Upper Echelon, learning is actually fun. I love all my tutors and enjoy going to school.”
