Middle School Departments

Western Christian Middle School includes the following departments:

Bible
“God is love.” (I John 4:8) Jesus' admonition to love God and your neighbor as your self incites students toward putting their faith into action in practical ways.

Students at all levels of spiritual growth encounter a comprehensive program of intellectual challenge and practical opportunity. Students master essential truths of the Bible before moving on to advanced discussions of contemporary issues and apologetics.

English
By analyzing various genres of literature from a Christian perspective, students develop the ability to express emerging beliefs, convictions and values through written and verbal communication.

Mathematics
The Math Department provides a comprehensive program, servicing students at all levels of ability. The courses for those who need additional time to develop their fundamental math skills include pre-algebra and Algebra.

All math courses emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, mathematical concepts, applications, and preparation for standardized testing.

The math teacher provides personal after school tutoring each week.

It is our hope that our students in mathematics will recognize the mathematical precision that is God's world and more clearly understand the attributes of God's character – immutability, wisdom and order.

History
Studies in geography, history, and government provide students with an integrated view of the world, enabling them to synthesize personal Christian convictions relative to the world in which they live.

Each year 8 th grade students have the opportunity to travel to Washington DC to gain a first-hand view of American government and history .

Physical Education
The Physical Education and Athletic program promotes lifelong discipline and good health. Athletes learn to exhibit Christian character under the pressure of competition while training in diverse sports. Spots available to our Middle School students include flag football, volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer, cross country and track.

Science
God's creative acts provide the foundation for scientific discovery. Students explore the wonder of the laws and principles that govern the universe while developing marketplace skills.

Students demonstrate a grasp of science concepts, theories and calculations through experiments and real-life simulations using lab equipment.
