Middle School Curriculum

Our mission is to help students be successful in all that they do-inside or outside the classroom. Because of this, our curriculum involves more than covering middle school academic subjects. Our faculty is committed to providing students with a challenging college preparatory curriculum while sharing with them that God loves them and has a special plan for their lives.

The middle school curriculum spirals from year to year by building upon our students' prior knowledge of concepts studied in previous years. The school day consists of eight 45-minute class periods, which are specifically designed for the learning characteristics of middle school students.
