Middle Schoolers are in the phase of learning when they want to understand the world they live in. They ask questions so they can begin to create their own beliefs and being part of a classroom where teachers love the Lord, they can ask those questions safely. Academic and Spiritual development are of equal importance, priority is made to ensure that students are active in the learning process. As a classical school we work to give students the opportunity to develop wisdom and virtue.
