6TH - 8TH GRADES

Fayette Christian middle school offers both traditional and innovative educational opportunities within the context of a biblical worldview. We address the individual needs of our students and maintain an active learning environment. Our desire is to prepare students to be lifelong learners who love learning new concepts about the world and God. Partnering with parents and churches to develop this firm foundation of a Christ-centered worldview is vital. These middle school years are key in developing students’ God-given talents and abilities.

Students in middle school establish a foundation not only of knowledge, but also of study skills and habits that will serve them well throughout their time at Fayette Christian School and beyond. Classroom experiences and extracurricular activities build up well-rounded students who are prepared to serve Jesus through their giftings.

Our middle school program provides a strong foundation in the disciplines of Bible, math, reading, writing, grammar, social studies and science. Fine Arts are introduced in the middle school years.
