Mount Calvary’s middle school includes grades 6, 7 and 8. Our faculty recognizes that these years are full
of transitions and changes for these students, and they make every effort to be understanding of the needs of this age group. The faculty’s goal is to assist you in molding your child to “be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and useful for the master, prepared for every good work” II Timothy 2:20.

Middle school students move out of self-contained classrooms and move into academics that become increasingly deeper in scope, but still grounded in biblical principles. An emphasis continues to be placed on core subjects with extended class time for Mathematics and English.

Middle school students are able to participate in our athletics and fine arts programs. Athletic opportunities include but are not limited to basketball, soccer, baseball, and volleyball. All of the athletic opportunities available to our students is located in the athletics section of the website. Fine arts opportunties include band, choir, select choir, art, and handbells.

Sixth grade students enjoy the opportunity to take an overnight trip in the fall to Spruce Lake, a learning center located a few hours away from school. During this trip students not only learn about nature and God’s creation, but are challenged to grow deeper in their Christian faith. This activity encourages class unity and character development.
