MIDDLE SCHOOL

MIDDLE SCHOOL AT GASTON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Grades 6-8 are formative years. During this unique season of life, pre-teens need a strong community, positive mentors, and a variety of new challenges and opportunities. At Gaston Christian School, we partner with parents to educate their children and foster a biblical worldview. When it comes time for your child to move onto high school, they will have a strong academic foundation and an identity rooted in Christ. 

At GCS, your child will:

• Be taught by fun-loving teachers who are passionate about connecting with middle school students on their level
• Move through an academically rigorous curriculum that is filled with innovative projects and hands-on learning experiences
• Develop strong character and be disciplined in a way that does not focus on punishment, but rather on seeking restoration and teaching lifelong lessons
• Grow spiritually through regular opportunities to worship, study the Bible, and be mentored by Christian role models

As a middle school parent, you can expect:

• Individual Attention — At GCS your child will be known, and his or her teachers are always available to discuss their academic, social, or spiritual progress.
• Values Alignment — We teach and emphasize Christian character daily, so you can rest assured that what you are teaching at home is being modeled at school.
• Strong Community — Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in performing arts, parents are invited and encouraged to be involved in their child’s school life.
• Growing Independence — Students move through an eight-period school day, choose their own electives, and try many new activities, which builds confidence and independence.

Words from a Middle School Student

 

 “When I’m asked what my favorite grade was at GCS, I always say my middle school years. This is where I grew most — not only academically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. I have no doubt in my mind that it was because of the middle school teachers who poured into me on a daily basis. I will forever be thankful for the GCS middle school team and everything they did for me.” 

– Lauren F.
