Middle School
Middle school for grades 6–8
As a Christian middle school, Abundant Life helps your child succeed not just as a student, but also as a Christ follower. Through our challenging curriculum, students find room for personal growth and encouragement. Meanwhile, they discover their unique God-given gifts and learn to relate to others in positive ways.

We faithfully teach through traditional methods like lectures, team projects, and reading. However, we also emphasize love, kindness, and respect for each other. As a result, our Bible-based teaching creates experiences and conversations that enrich your child’s character and prepare them for the future.
Although academic growth is essential, time with friends at this age is critical. For this reason, our students start each year with a chance to connect outside the classroom at our annual retreat in September. In turn, new friendships shape how students see others and help them be their true selves.
At this stage, students take responsibility for their grades, start assignments early, and manage their time and resources. Then, as they learn to advocate for themselves, they build strong study habits for future education.
Middle school is a time when students grow more independent. While many schools simply focus on turning information into knowledge, Abundant Life goes further. Specifically, we guide students as they discover who they are as children of God and how to use their knowledge and God-given gifts to impact the world.
Middle school plays a key part in grounding young people in the Christian faith. Of course, structure and guidance are just one part of an environment where kids can grow in their relationship with God. In fact, our school does not limit God to a single class. Instead, we present Him as our Creator, whose handiwork is present in all we do.
Above all, our school gives your child a place to be physically and emotionally safe. During these formative years, our school serves as a community of faith, a house of learning, and a community of friends.
