The middle school curriculum is designed to meet the significant growth and transitions that take place for students during these years. From the sixth grade orientation to the final eighth grade chapel service, students are guided, encouraged and challenged toward being young adults. Emphasis is placed on the acquiring of skills necessary to work capably as independent learners. Students learn how to study, budget their time, prepare for a test, plan a project, and work in a group. Our focus is on preparing our students for both the academic challenge of high school and the challenge of life decisions.
We stress personal responsibility for actions and actively reinforce character development. We expect students to be active partners in their learning, giving their best efforts toward developing a strong academic background that will enable them to use their God-given potential.
We have a one-to-one technology program in our middle school. All Middle School students are provided with a Chromebook for use in classes and to take home for homework.
Besides the core curriculum of language arts, math, science, history and Bible, students also take art, physical education, music, computer and study skills. Foreign language and other elective classes constitute more choices for 7th and 8th grade students. Contact our Christian middle school today to learn more about what we have to offer. We serve Annapolis, Severn and the surrounding area.
Middle school Bible courses are designed to help strengthen students’ spiritual foundation as they become more aware of the challenges of culture and the world around them. Middle school students also attend chapel every Thursday morning. Classes are given the opportunity to plan and produce chapels for their own grade level. 
Students deepen their arithmetic and algebraic foundation along with problem-solving abilities through the use of hands-on cross-curricular projects and group activities, integrating and honing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 
Middle school science content and instruction are highly interactive, with labs and activities to inspire, drive, and reinforce learning. 3D printing projects and a variety of STEM projects are always a favorite. 
Students express themselves through art using a variety of mediums as they discover their own artistic skills and creativity. The basic elements of art and design are taught to students of all abilities and the main lobby and hallways are regularly decorated with their beautiful works of art. All Middle School students meet for art class three times a week for one semester in grades 6 through 8.
