Grades 5 and 6
Grades 5 and 6 are largely a transitional period between lower and middle school. Grade 5 is in the lower school building and officially part of the Lower school, while grade six is in its own portable classrooms separate from the rest of the school, but considered part of the middle school. Both grades are divided into two classes, with each class sharing many of the same teachers but still all taking the same subjects at the same time as the rest of their class.
Grade 6 takes a major field trip every year, in May, to
Quebec . For this field trip the two six grade classes raise money throughout the year with weakly bake sales and middle school pizza sales.Middle School
In grades 7 and 8, students begin having individual schedules, moving independently between English, History, Math, Science, and Latin (the required foreign language for grades 7 and 8). Classes, mathematics in particular, begin at this point to be more specialized to each student's capabilities.
Upper School
In grades 9-12, students partake in a rigorous high school experience, choosing between regular, honors, and Advance Placement level courses and picking between French, Spanish, or German for foreign languages. In their senior year, instead of a history course students choose between Philosophy or Contemporary Issues.
=Field Trips=Cape Cod Academy takes students on many small and several large field trips.
Quebec
In the sixth grade, students every year go to Quebec City, Quebec, for five days, after studying early Canadian history and the English-French wars in North America.
Chewonki
Students in the eighth go each fall to Chewonki, Maine, where they spend a week camping out together to develop group bonding and team-working skills. ----Tenth graders can no longer go spend their week canoing in the coastal waters of Maine and camping out on islands. The tenth grade cannot go because of drug abuse during the 2007 trip.
