Hours - Form
| The journey from childhood
to young adulthood is a momentous one. Our middle school students
find an environment that is supportive and nurturing. Students
are given more freedom, more choices and more responsibility.
Life Christian promotes self-reliance, honesty and respect.
Academics is our top priority and all students are equipped
with a sound grasp of fundamentals in the core subjects. |

To become successful young adults they also need opportunities
to question and think critically for themselves. Middle school
is also the time when students begin competing athletically
and expressing themselves creatively in music, drama and art.

6th Grade Experience
We have designed a unique sixth grade experience that transitions
our 5th graders into Middle school. Each student has three core
teachers as compared to six teachers for 7th and 8th grade students.
Rotate between these three teachers for core subjects.
Students participate fully in Middle School chapels, pep assemblies,
student government, etc. They are assigned lockers and have their
own lunch with extra time in the gym each day to work out that extra
energy.
A highlight of 6th grade is C.O.D.E (Christian outdoor education).
In the fall our sixth grade students and parent volunteers travel
to Miracle Ranch for an intense three day study of the ecosystem
and animal life. They also find time for campfires, skits and scavenger
hunts.
Spiritual Life
Each middle school student in addition to core academics has Bible
class every day. There are weekly chapel services led by the student
worship team, student speakers, MS Pastor Kyle Sanborn, and MS Principal
Mark Lovelady. The chapel services are called :"The Groove."
Each fall life Christian brings in a dynamic youth speaker for Spiritual
Emphasis Week. Our 7th and 8th grade students also enjoy an annual
retreat with their class at one of the great camping facilities
in the area. We provide opportunities for our students to learn
and enjoy corporate prayer - we pray at the flagpole, we pray before
meals, and staff and students pray for one another. Each student
in the MS is placed into a small group called a “Mentor Group”.
Each group is lead by a teacher and meets on a weekly basis. We
also encourage our teachers to have their classes involved in outreach
programs in our local community.
