Statistical research has found that middle school students who
participate in extracurricular academic activities score significantly
higher on achievement tests than students who do not participate.
PSIA (Private Schools Interscholastic Association) offers the most
comprehensive academic extracurricular program in the nation for
students in grades 1-8. It is a non-profit educational organization,
serving ALL privately-schooled grade 1-8 children. Competitive events
are available in a wide variety of subject matter, including language
arts, fine arts, math , science and geography.

including vocabulary, science and on-site drawing. Special recognition
goes to
