Junior High School

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM (7th - 8th grade)

Our Junior High School staff employ a wide array of curricula in delivering a biblically-integrated education to their students. They aim to create a text-rich environment in which classic novels, abundant primary source documents, and God’s inspired Word are central. Reading, as the mother skill of all learning, is encouraged, cultivated and taught. The sciences are taught using inquiry-based learning in which students are allowed to discover God’s wonderful design in creation as they examine the core sciences of physics, chemistry and biology each year. The math scope and sequence is designed to build a strong foundation in computing and problem-solving that prepares students for Algebra I and beyond. Courses in art design and concert band provide students with creative space to display their gifts to a variety of audiences. All students take physical education every day, allowing for their physical growth and health.
