Available Courses

English / Language Arts

The middle school language arts courses teach students to use literature to develop the reading, writing, language, and speaking/listening skills necessary for success in college, career, and beyond. Built on Sevenstar’s trademark biblical integration model, students learn to process literature through a biblical perspective while also learning to interact with that literature through evaluation, response, and writing assignments.

Mathematics

Middle school math takes a practical approach to math concepts, teaching students how math applies to real world applications. This approach not only allows students to understand the usefulness of mathematical concepts but also teaches them to better appreciate God’s world based on their growing understanding of how math serves as the foundation of many concepts throughout creation. 

Science

Middle school students will process through a solid overview of science with the three-course middle school science system. Each course processes through concepts in physical, life, and earth-space science, with all concepts being viewed through a Christian worldview. Scientific theories, including both creationism and evolution, are explored, helping students learn how to process through and differentiate between concepts.

Bible

Designed to be completed in any order, middle school Bible courses provide an overview of biblical literacy and interpretation, an exploration of the life of Christ, and an introduction to apologetics. These practical courses help students learn how to process the Bible, apply its teaching to their own lives, and present what has been learned through writing and discussion. 

History / Social Studies

During the middle school years, students get to hone in on three targeted areas of study: ancient history, US history, and civics. Each course encourages middle schoolers to look at how God has been active in history and how they can learn from that activity and respond as good citizens in their communities, nation, and world today. 

World Languages

Middle school language learning is all about Spanish! Students not only have the opportunity to begin to learn how to listen to, read, and speak Spanish, they will also explore the great cultural diversity found among Spanish-speaking people groups around the world. All of the language and cultural training are grounded in a spiritual growth context as well. 

Electives

Middle school is a great time to explore a wide range of interests. With options ranging from fine arts and technology to health, critical thinking, and career exploration, the middle school electives selections provide the opportunity to consider a variety of interests.
