Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate middle school students' perceptions of private academy science education and of school science education in order to promote school science education. 180 middle school students who were taking a science class at a private academy were participated, and the short form of Classroom Environment Scale was implemented for the study. The results showed that the students went to an academy for supplementing school science or for getting a better grade in school. Some students, however, have different reason to go to an academy; they were kinds of silence-learners or received-learners rather than constructed-learners. That is, they didn't know how to and what to study. Students didn't have an opportunity to think scientifically and creatively from both academy and school science classes. They studied harder in science class at private academy than at school. Some students felt more favorable to and comfortable with academy teachers compare to school science teachers.
