Middle SCHOOL
grades k-5
Covenant Christian Academy’s Middle School provides a supportive and challenging environment where students in grades six through eight develop academically, socially, and spiritually. With small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and a Christ-centered approach, students are encouraged to grow in independence and confidence as they transition into young adulthood.
Our teachers utilize current curriculum and strategies to differentiate instruction and guide each student toward their full potential. Rooted in Biblical truth, our program equips students to think critically, act responsibly, and demonstrate leadership both inside and outside the classroom. Every aspect of the Middle School experience—from academics to relationships—is designed to prepare students for success in high school and beyond.
Our program focuses on educating the whole child—academically, socially, and spiritually. Through small class sizes, individualized instruction, and an engaging curriculum, students grow in confidence, develop critical-thinking skills, and learn to demonstrate responsibility and respect. Each child is encouraged to pursue curiosity and creativity while forming a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
