140 years of commitment, development, movement. That's how one room became multiple campuses. At Shady Side Academy, we make room for you to make your move.
What does it mean to be moved?
At Shady Side Academy, we find our answer. We believe learning should be expansive and exciting, so your child can be the architect of their own adventure. We empower teachers who love teaching, so you can feel the joy in every classroom. We go beyond standard private education, so your child will be ready for college and everything after.
Two Elementary Options
Encouraged by our community, supported by peers, and inspired by our surroundings, your child will discover their full self in pre-k / kindergarten through grade 5.
Middle School
The freedom to explore, support to fail safely, and the confidence to come into their own, independent education should be exciting and expansive in grades 6–8.
High School + Boarding
Reimagining what a classroom can be and moving beyond standard education in grades 9–12, every bulldog is part of something bigger when they graduate.
