Known for creating an elevated educational experience, we believe in the enormous potential within every child, and we know that full potential is not achieved by merely acquiring academic skills and facts. It is achieved within a community where the needs of each individual are recognized, supported, and encouraged, where students have a voice in what and how they learn, and where teachable moments extend far beyond the walls of our classrooms. Ninety-eight percent of our Class of 2023 were accepted to at least one of their top three college choices, and the class earned more than $8.5 million in merit-based scholarships.
EARLY LEARNING CENTER
Launched in Fall 2024. We believe that when children are active participants in their own learning, they create meaningful connections between their school and their world. Children find true joy as they grow, play, and create in our language-rich learning community.

LOWER SCHOOL
In Lower School, each child’s intellectual, creative, moral, emotional, and physical growth on an individual level. It is a joyful place, inspiring not only lifelong learning but also character, scholarship, and service. Through a dynamic curriculum that values learning through inquiry, students master foundational skills balanced with critical thinking and problem solving.
MIDDLE SCHOOL
Middle School is home to grades 5-8, and our curriculum addresses the needs of young people during these crucial adolescent years. While all students are part of one Middle School, there are two wings to our division: a fifth and sixth-grade wing (“Gold Hall”) and a seventh and eighth-grade wing (“Blue Hall”). Thus, students spend most of their time with their grade level, but they also have opportunities to be part of their larger peer group through assemblies, teams, clubs, and assorted school activities.
UPPER SCHOOL
Battle Ground Academy’s Upper School is a setting in which any student can flourish. At the forefront of our program is our gifted, experienced faculty who challenge learners in a comprehensive, college-preparatory environment, using the latest methodology and innovative technology, within a 21st century curriculum. Our small class sizes allow our teachers to provide personal attention and establish lifelong relationships with their pupils.
