The middle school program at St. Louis Covenant School is designed to prepare students in grades 6-8 for more rigorous learning challenges. Students are taught by teachers who are experts in their subject matter and are passionate about student success. Emphasis is placed on high school preparation in all areas as well as the development of the whole child by providing opportunities for leadership, spiritual growth, and character development. Students are leveled for Mathematics class beginning in 6th grade based on teacher recommendation and TerraNova scores. 7th grade students are given a placement exam in order to be eligible to take Algebra I/Dual Enrollment in 8th grade. For Language Arts, students develop their skills in comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and writing using hihger-order thinking skills and strategies. Our hands-on Science classes provide students with opportunities to work in collaboration with others as they use the scientific method during their weekly labs. In Social Studies, students learn about history from ancient civilizations to current events. Through the arts and physical education, students develop their God-given talents. Our goal in middle school is for our students to move on to their high school of choice. Graduates are known to excel in a broad range of disciplines in subsequent acadamic settings, All for His Glory.
