Middle School

Literacy development

Students develop their literacy skills through in-depth book studies, focused grammar instruction, and collaborative group projects that deepen their comprehension and analysis of the texts they read.

spiritual development

Students grow in their spiritual development through a structured study of Scripture. In Sixth Grade, they explore an overview of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and as they progress, they deepen their understanding through focused studies of Proverbs and the life of Christ as presented in the Gospel of John by Eighth Grade. Students participate in monthly Small Group studies and Chapel.  

Math development

Mathematical skills are developed in Sixth Grade with an emphasis on applying concepts to solve real-world problems. As students progress, they build a strong foundation in essential mathematical principles, including algebraic expressions, fractions, and statistics. By the end of middle school, students advance to the study of algebra, preparing them for higher-level mathematics.
 

Science and social studies development

Students will explore scientific concepts through the study of living systems, developing a deeper understanding of Earth and its processes. They will also expand their knowledge of history by examining ancient civilizations, the founding of the New World, the Civil War, and the Reconstruction era.

Electives

Students rotate through a variety of elective courses, including art, computer science, physical education, and creative writing. These electives help strengthen students' visual arts and athletic abilities.
 

“We began attending Curtis Baptist School in first grade, and my son loves attending Curtis. Middle school was an exciting time with challenging work, school projects, field trips, sports, and new friends. My son participated in cross country, golf, track, soccer, and basketball throughout his middle school years at Curtis.” — Parent of a rising 9th-grade student
