Middle School Curriculum

 

 

The Middle School program involves Grades 6 through 8. This age is considered to be one of the most critical times in the development of a child. St. Paul’s offers a nurturing, safe, Christian, and academically oriented environment for Middle School students.

 

The curriculum provided for these grades includes religion, language arts, math, science, social studies, keyboard, and computer. Spanish and additional foreign language study, soccer, martial arts, home economics, band, art, and other opportunities are offered as electives. Basic core classes are offered in 90 minute blocks, but not necessarily every day of the week. Middle School students may also participate in student government. The staff works together as a team to offer a responsive middle school curriculum to today’s early adolescent.

St. Paul's Lutheran School provides classes in grades 6-8 with a maximum of 25 students per grade.* The class hours are 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM.

All Middle School applicants will be required to complete a screening process.
