Our Middle School emphasizes being and becoming your personal best, taking responsibility and preparing for high school and beyond. Students develop independence by changing classes for each subject, utilizing lockers and adapting to different teachers. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for the rigors of high school with study skills classes, mid-term and final exams as well as expanded projects. Students develop social skills and moral awareness within a safe environment during this time of rapid physical and mental growth.
The middle school day consists of a block schedule with longer class periods for the core academic subjects. The integrated academic curriculum and activities are enhanced with foreign language, art, chorus, and physical education classes. An advanced math track allows students to move at a more challenging pace. Foreign language skills are further developed through Spanish classes in all grades. Eighth grade students have the opportunity to receive high school credit for their Spanish I and Algebra I classes.
Special middle school activities include the Science Fair, sports, retreats, field trips and leadership opportunities. Middle school students can participate on co-ed soccer and basketball teams. We are especially proud of our mission work including trips to build a playground for a camp serving underprivileged children and teens, working with Habitat for Humanity, preparing a church camp for its summer session and visits to nursing homes. Community service is a core element in middle school. Students participate in volunteer opportunities within and outside the school community.
