Middle School
Religion
We believe that our School is a community of grace; we are all encircled by the unconditional love and grace of God in Jesus Christ. Prayer, Bible study, chapel attendance, and participation in service projects are all integral parts of our program. The curriculum for sixth through eighth grade religion includes some of the following:
