Middle School

Middle School is 5th-8th grade and classes are Monday-Friday 8:30 am – 3:30 pm.

The middle school is located on the Sunset campus and serves students in 5th through 8th grade. Our middle school students have the opportunity to join various BCS club teams (basketball, volleyball, archery, soccer, and cross country) and music electives (band, choir, theater).

Our four 5/6 multiage classrooms bring together aspects of our elementary classrooms while readying students for the increased pacing of upper middle school classes. 5/6 students have one homeroom teacher for their core subjects. These lower level middle school classrooms also bring in some aspects of the middle school learning environment such as learning how to take notes, study for tests, delve deep into social studies/science topics, and work on higher level reading and writing tasks including reading a variety of novels where the biblical storyline is explored. 

5/6 grade students experience learning outside the classroom by participating in retreats throughout the year, including one overnight retreat in the spring. 

Our upper middle school students, 7/8 graders, switch classes every hour and have a variety of teachers who specialize in a subject area, including Bible. Teachers aim to build leadership skills while meeting the unique needs of middle school age learners, including social-emotional skills and self awareness with a focus on how God’s wisdom can direct our decisions and actions. 7th grade students have the opportunity to take an accelerated math course and 8th grade students have the opportunity to take Algebra I, earning them high school credits so they are eligible to start high school math with geometry.
