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. |
