The Spire School is excited to announce the expansion of its middle school program to include grades 6 and 7, complementing its existing 8th-grade offerings and now offering a full middle-grades program to students. The middle and high school programs offer students with mental health needs a rigorous academic curriculum, integrated with therapeutic support where students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
