Junior High School

In Junior High school, students are exposed to an increasingly mature environment. Projects, field trips, research, and hands-on and fun-filled activities are still the foundation of the academic program, but are coupled with lecture and discussion on a more sophisticated level. Students in the Junior High school find themselves with more individual responsibility. The Junior High program is designed to meet the needs of the students spiritually, academically and socially, as social needs become increasingly important during these years. Students in the Junior High school are transitioned from the contained classrooms of the elementary program into the departmentalized program of the junior high where students have specialized teachers and change classrooms. Some thematic subjects are taught to the 7th & 8th grades in combination, while others are taught to each grade individually, such as Bible and History. Each junior high student’s coursework includes four academic subjects, one elective subject, physical education and Bible study. Junior high is a time of preparation for high schoo,l of growth, and of fun!

In addition to academics, junior high school students may broaden their interests through involvement in student government and community service. Students are encouraged to participate in available community sports programs and leagues.
