The Middle School Academies
The YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg provides FREE, innovative before-and-afterschool programming for students in 6th through 8th grade at three local middle schools through The Middle School Academies (TMSA) program, made possible by Juvenile Welfare Board.
By incorporating activities and resources that engage students in academic growth and achievement, the program aims to help them to foster a love for learning while providing a support system and serving as a motivator. Students participate in club-based programs in the mornings and academic support in the afternoons. The YMCA strives to cultivate a safe, welcoming environment where students can feel a sense of belonging and achievement as they grow in their commitment to learning, positive relationships and as engaged, empowered individuals.

After July 20, online registration will close and a wait list will be opened. Once school begins, the wait list will be processed and handled on a first-come, first-served basis to fill any remaining space in the program. Additional forms will be required and therefore there may be a delay on when your child can begin attending, so we highly encourage parents to enroll by the July 20 deadline.
