Middle School Curriculum

The Middle School program offers courses intended to develop not only content knowledge but also critical, creative, and abstract thinking skills. Concordia Prep guides students to become respectful, responsible, and reflective students and citizens. By exposing students to a wide range of courses in the Middle School, Concordia Prep places an emphasis on the development of writing skills, analytic skills, and effective communication.

The Middle School years serve as a bridge between grade school and high school. It is vitally important during these three years of middle level education that students are prepared for the challenges of high school. Concordia Prep benefits students by instilling a spiritual foundation built upon the Rock of Jesus Christ.  With this foundation in place, our students are being equipped to go into ‘the real world’ knowing the true importance of faith, prayer and Christian friends.

Concordia Preparatory School offers a rigorous, age-appropriate curriculum for its Middle School students, which consists of core courses including religion, science, social studies, composition and literature, math, and health-PE.
