middle school

In Middle School, students are forming habits of heart and mind to last a lifetime. At this stage of academic development we encourage students to formulate opinions with critical thought, and be able to defend those opinions verbally, and with the written word. We teach students that they have a voice and how to articulate that voice. These habits are integrated throughout the curriculum including Math and Science along with English, History, and Bible. Middle school is the gateway to high school and these critical thinking and articulation skills are necessary to be successful in their high school years and beyond.

Over the years, Rancho Christian (K-12) has increasingly focused on STEAM disciplines as the best way to equip every student to be “University Ready and Life Ready.” With our new administrative team highly focused on research-based academics within a multiple intelligence model of instruction, every student will learn in a way that matches their own learning style in a project-based and collaborative environment. Specifically, the middle school brain is tailor-made for learning through creative use of technology and artistic expression. The Rancho Christian Middle School experience includes:

  • Fun Learning, Creating, Exploring

  • Apple Devices & Cloud-Based Collaboration

  • Robotics & Science Labs

  • Computer Coding

  • World Languages

  • Art & Technology

  • Strength, Conditioning & Agility

  • Competitive Athletics

  • Christ-Centered Character-Building

  • Community & Global Volunteering

Our goal is for every student to promote from 8th grade having had the time of their lives as they enjoyed learning, creating and competing in a Christ-centered community of care and support. They will be prepared for advanced academics in High School with a solid worldview based on God’s unconditional love and acceptance.
