Middle School Electives: Exploration and Purpose
Our middle school elective program is designed to be a time of discovery, allowing students to explore their unique interests and refine their God-given gifts. We offer a rotating selection of courses throughout the three years of middle school that challenge students to think critically, communicate effectively, and steward their talents with excellence. By providing a diverse range of subjects, we empower our students to take ownership of their learning journey as they prepare for the academic rigors of high school.
A Diverse Path of Discovery
From the technical precision of Mechanical Engineering to the practical wisdom of Personal Finance, our electives bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application. Students can immerse themselves in linguistic and cultural studies through Spanish, Italian, and Latin, or find their voice in Shakespeare, Speech, and Chapel Band. Whether through the creative expression of Fine Arts, Yearbook, and Art Appreciation or the foundational growth of Study Skills, each elective is an opportunity for students to cultivate a lifelong love of learning and a deeper understanding of their place in God’s world.
