Middle School Academics
At Worthington Christian, we recognize the unique window of “middle” school for what it really is — a period of God-designed growth and transition in your child’s formative years. As educators and guides, we relish navigating these early teen years with your student by fostering intellectual curiosity and nurturing the budding maturity that is beginning to blossom.
More choices along our academic paths
Our seventh and eighth-grade curriculum is designed to stretch students academically while instilling confidence to prepare them for what’s ahead. Accelerated math options exist for those who demonstrate strong proficiency. World language options are introduced. And for the first time, students will get to choose “electives” based on their interests.
Visual & Performing Arts
Gaining Creative Independence
Our seventh and eighth grade students begin learning new forms, tools, and techniques to enhance their work. Here, free-form creativity meets the discipline of design to open up entirely new worlds for discovery in the visual arts.
Lights, Camera, Action
Middle school is when students begin producing their own theatre productions. This provides exposure to new artistic disciplines as they learn lines, stage presence, and time management habits that will prove beneficial long after the curtain goes down.
Hitting The Right Notes
Our musically and vocally talented students will find their place in one of our grade-based bands, the honors band, orchestra, or choir. All of these musical endeavors provide opportunities for our students to step into the spotlight and discover the chemistry and reward of performing as one.
New Opportunities Await
While core activities like chapel and service projects transition with students to the Upper School, many exciting new opportunities await middle schoolers. These include school clubs and organizations that build connections through shared interests, and travel adventures like the Freedom Study Tour for seventh graders and the Washington, D.C. Study Tour for those in eighth grade.
