Middle school is more than just a stepping stone to high school. It’s a formative season when students begin discovering who they are, what they believe, and how they hope to impact the world. During these years, academic demands increase, friendships evolve, and questions of faith grow deeper and more personal.
That’s why students need a place that challenges them intellectually while providing the support and guidance they need to thrive.
In our middle school, students do more than just survive these changes—they flourish. Through challenging academics rooted in biblical truth, close relationships with teachers and peers who genuinely care, and chances to lead and serve, our students develop confidence, character, and skills.
More importantly, they begin to understand their unique role in God's story.
Middle school language arts goes beyond reading and writing to help students find their voice and communicate with clarity and conviction. Through literature analysis, creative writing, and speaking, students explore big ideas while developing the communication skills every leader needs.
Our math program meets students where they are and takes them where they need to go. Whether mastering basic concepts or diving into algebra, students develop problem-solving skills and logical reasoning abilities.
Hands-on experiments, technology, and health education give students a comprehensive understanding of God's creation. From chemistry reactions to computer programming to human anatomy, science class sparks curiosity and develops critical thinking skills.
World cultures, geography, and historical events come alive as students explore how God has worked through people and nations across time. They learn to think historically, understand different perspectives, and see their place in the continuing story of God's world.
Middle school Bible class tackles the real questions students are asking about faith, identity, and purpose. Through Scripture study, discussion, and application, students develop a personal relationship with God and understand how biblical truth applies to their daily lives.
