Welcome

The Middle Years at DBCS offers a smooth transition into the Secondary School through a personalized pastoral care system and engaging learning activities across all the Key Learning Areas. Through enquiry based learning students are equipped for lifelong learning, the development of strong study skills and preparation for entering the Senior Years with confidence.

In grades six through eight, young men and women are challenged to examine their identity in Christ, and to integrate godly characteristics into their lifestyle and their interaction with peers.   Middle School is a time of dynamic growth for students. They are given the opportunity to shoulder more responsibility for both the physical and intellectual aspects of their learning environment. The change classes, have lockers, take notes, engage in independent reading, and studying.   They are given opportunities to lead in chapel, as class officers, and as student government representatives. They are able to participate in other student organizations such as JOY Club. Academic competition at the school, regional and state level is available to them as well.   Our middle school fields athletic teams in many sports. We consistently field teams in soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Our middle school students are an integral part of our cross country and track and field competitions.   Dedicated teachers provide a stimulating academic program in the foundational areas. We have resource teachers who supplement academic offerings with classes in music, art and computer. Students who excel academically are afforded the opportunity to take high school courses in mathematics and Spanish. These grades provide a smooth transition from the elementary years to the rigors of high school.
