Serving students in 5th through 8th grades, the Middle School at Whitefield Academy partners with Christian families to guide and nurture your children as they navigate these adolescent formational years, rich with God-given opportunity to equip, teach, and influence.
No longer a child and not quite a young adult, your middle school aged children are ready to practice some independence; yet, they also yearn for and need a structure to help draw out their God-given passions and talents. Under the leadership of Middle School Principal Mr. John Crosland passionate and experienced teachers seek to know your child deeply and thoughtfully challenge them as they develop a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active Jesus.
The Middle School curriculum is intentionally designed to engage, support, and grow students in mind, body, and spirit. Each subject integrates faith learning and Biblical truth, stretching your child's critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills. Courses such as Bible, English, Fine Arts, Foreign Language, history, math, science, STEAM, computers, and more seek to build important skills in students that will last a lifetime and glorify God.
By explicitly learning and practicing executive functioning skills and digital stewardship skills designed with a developmentally appropriate progression, students increasingly take ownership of their education, preparing themselves to thrive in the Upper School and beyond. Small class sizes and hands-on, integrated learning, including lab work, service projects, cross-curricular projects, and immersive, overnight experiential learning trips and spiritual retreats, help students flourish into confident and ambitious learners. Beginning in 7th grade, students can take honors level courses as they grow and excel.
The Middle School students experience a seven-day rotating schedule, allowing for more depth in collaborative learning, relationship building, and application of knowledge and skills.
As students mature and the depth of academic understanding strengthens, the breadth and variety of extracurricular opportunities also grows. In topical Bible studies, chapel, and small groups, students dig into God’s Word. Teachers, Advisors, and coaches commit to building relationships with our students rooted in the love of Christ, recognizing and affirming each individual as created in the image of God. Students also have access to division-specific counselors on staff as they grow and thrive through their identity in Christ.
At Whitefield Academy, we dedicate space, time, and resources to cultivating student-driven passions and opportunities in service as part of the formational experience. Students also engage in a variety of clubs designed to spark creativity, collaboration, and leadership. Recess, lunch, and Advisory provide time for students to nurture friendships, play, and bond with fellow classmates in a Christian community.
Whitefield Academy, a Christ-centered college preparatory school, exists to bolster Christian families in rearing young people who go on to college and life with a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active Jesus.
