In Middle School, 6th–8th grade students meet new challenges, master new skills, and expand their horizons in every direction. Spiritual growth is the foundation from which students mature in character, intellectual capacity, athletic skill, and social competence. Small, team-taught classes and an emphasis on 21st century learning skills that includes providing a tablet computer for every student are key features of the program.
Outside the classroom, enriching social activities like dances, etiquette dinners, an annual unity trip, and field days enhance each child’s relationships with peers and adults and develop leadership and social skills. Students in grades 7 and 8 may live on campus in our Middle School dorms.
Supported by teachers who are also their coaches, advisors, and friends, Middle School students become more engaged learners, assume greater responsibility, and eagerly take on greater ownership for themselves and in their support of others. Rather than being “stuck in the middle,” our Middle School students feel at the center of everything on campus.
