Middle School
The Middle School believes the role of the faculty and administration is to provide students with a transition between elementary and high school. This belief guides all decisions made in the division including schedule design, disciplinary system, advisory program, elective courses, athletic program and spiritual development of students. During their four years in Middle School, faculty works with students to develop personal responsibility, ability to study God’s Word independently, and academic proficiency providing them with the foundation to be successful in high school.
