In the McLain 7th Grade Academy community, parents and students play an integral role in the development of our young people. We strive to work collaboratively with all students and families to ensure we achieve our goals. McLain 7th Grade Academy is a small, family- and student-centered school in which we focus on the whole child's social, emotional, and academic development. Our students have the opportunity to learn through technology- and project-based learning. At McLain 7, students are the recipients of the generosity of our community partners to ensure they have the skills and experiences they need to be successful academically and socially as they move on to the next level in their education.

AT MCLAIN 7TH GRADE ACADEMY, STUDENTS CAN:

• Build meaningful relationships with caring teachers who are committed to helping them be successful;
• Engage in personalized learning pathways with Teach to One Math and Reading Plus; and
• Explore potential career pathways and begin planning for their post-secondary future.

It was at McLain 7 that I realized I wanted to become a teacher. I am grateful to have had teachers that cared about whether or not I succeeded, and who pushed me to be the best version of me I could be. I want to be that for others.McLain 7th Grade Academy alumnus
