Nurturing mind, body, and spirit is at the heart of every program in the middle and high schools. Daily Bible classes, bi-weekly chapel programs, and opportunities for service to others are indicative of the mission of our school. Christian principles are integrated into all disciplines. The curriculum is designed and taught to prepare students for the academic rigors of the university and the spiritual rigors of life. Middle School The aim of the middle school program is to equip students with the academic tools necessary for success in our college preparatory high school program. Collectively, the middle school grades annually rank in the 75th to 80th percentiles nationally on the Stanford Achievement Test. Courses offered in the middle school include the following:
