Middle School / Junior High
The middle school years (grades 5-6) are characterized by growth and change, and our experienced faculty understands the specific needs of developing adolescents. Goals for students include helping them gain independence as thinkers and learners, and recognize failures and struggles as an opportunity for growth. Students pursue mastery of core subject areas (Math, Science, History, English, and Biblical Foundations) while also being challenged to integrate all knowledge through a Christ-centered worldview. Enrichment classes include Band, Orchestra, Choir, Technology, STEM, Theatre, Art, and Physical Education.
“We have such a loving and supportive staff here to help students navigate challenges, encourage them when things are hard, and nudge them toward independent thinking, learning, and growth.” - LeAnn Murry, Middle School and Junior High Assistant Principal
The LRCA junior high school (grades 7-8) is focused on the whole child while providing an excellent foundation in academic work that is key to success in high school and college. A variety of co-curricular opportunities include chapels, house groups, social events, clubs, athletics, seminars, and more where our junior high students further develop their unique God-given gifts and abilities. Core classes consist of Math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Pre-AP Algebra, or Pre-AP Geometry), English, History, Science, and Biblical Worldview. Many electives are offered in the areas of World Languages, Theatre, Choir, Band, Orchestra, Art, STEM, Physical Education, and Athletics.
“I love that this building is strictly for adolescents who are beginning their road toward becoming courageous godly men and women. Within this house, they are paired with strong faculty mentors and disciple makers.” - Tyler Eatherton, Middle School and Junior High Principal
