Middle School

Middle & High School Principal: Ruth Brooks rbrooks@jcaweb.net

The sixth, seventh, and eighth grades are part of an important transition time between elementary school and high school. Middle school students attend daily chapel services as well as daily Bible classes. Other areas of instruction include language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, computers, art and physical education. The middle school has a departmentalized program of instruction taught in seven, fifty-minute class periods each day.

Bible- Middle school students are exposed to topics of study such as, "How we got the Bible." It is our desire to build a strong foundation in the middle school Bible classes.
Math- Saxon math is used in each classroom to provide a firm math foundation. Saxon builds upon prior learning and encourages students to practice daily math skills.
Social Studies- Pearson curriculum is used in the middle school social studies classes. Sixth graders spend the year studying American History. In seventh grade the students learn about how government works in Civics class. High graders cover the first part of World History, up to 1500A.D.
Science- The Alabama Glencoe series is used in the middle school science classes. Since we are a Christian school, we are able to teach science from a Christian perspective.
Language Arts- Glencoe Grammar and Composition Handbook and Glencoe Literature are used in language arts classrooms beginning in sixth grade. Middle school students have two periods of language arts each day covering spelling, vocabulary, literature, and grammar.
