    Welcome to Middle School at SCS

    The middle school years (grades 6–8) are a time of transition — from childhood to young adulthood, from foundational learning to critical thinking. At Southside Christian School, we guide students through this important stage with rigorous academics, intentional discipleship, and supportive relationships, preparing them for success in high school and beyond

    Inside a Middle School Day

    Middle school students are challenged academically while continuing to grow in character and faith. Each day blends core subjects, spiritual development, and enrichment opportunities:

    • Morning devotions and Bible classes strengthen their walk with Christ.
    • Language arts, math, science, and history encourage deeper understanding and problem-solving.
    • Hands-on labs and projects bring concepts to life.
    • Group discussions and presentations build communication and leadership skills.

    A Well-Rounded Education

    Middle schoolers continue to benefit from a variety of classes and experiences that enrich their education.

    Art & Music :

    opportunities for creativity and performance.

    PE & Athletics :

    encouraging teamwork, fitness, and Warrior pride.

    Technology :

    equipping students with digital tools and responsible online skills.

    Clubs & Activities :

    Personal Attention, Lasting Support

    Why Families Choose SCS

    “I pulled my oldest child out of public school because the classroom size was too large and the teachers were ok with your student being average. Southside, on the other hand, keeps me informed with my child's progress and what they are learning. All the teachers there truly love their students and they pour themselves into their teaching.”
    - Angie R.
    “The teachers genuinely care about their students, not just academically but also in their character and spiritual growth. The leadership is strong, compassionate, and committed to excellence.
