Academics
Middle school is transformative. It’s a bridge between childhood and the teen years of high school and college. Middle schoolers are preparing for increasing independence and responsibility and learning crucial lessons about character and leadership.
A Christ-Centered Culture
At Lansing Christian School, we not only help middle school students prepare for higher studies through rigorous academics, but we also ground them in the spiritual knowledge that they belong to God and to the school community. In this intentional, Christ-centered culture, children in grades 6 to 8 gain the confidence they need to explore talents, take on leadership roles, and grow in Christian faith.
Each middle school student is assigned to a family group that includes pre-teens in grades 6-8 and a lead teacher. Family groups work together during special events such as the overnight retreat, spirit week, and field days. The groups also plan chapel and other activities. In addition, students have the opportunity to mentor younger students throughout the year. Each student knows that they belong.
