At LCS, our middle school program is deliberate about shaping and guiding young men and women, firming their foundation so that they may flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
Academic Courses
Both 7th and 8th grade students receive active curriculum across subject areas: Math, Science, Language Arts, History, Bible, Spanish, Technology, and Health (7th only).
All 7th and 8th grade students are enriched in Art Class and Physical Education. They also have the option of participating in either Band or Choir.

Middle School Distinctives

- modified sports (for 7th & 8th grade students)

- various club opportunities throughout the year
8th Graders at LCS also enjoy special and unique moments that set them apart and prepare them for high school.
- Special Eighth Grade Dinner
- Eighth Grade Play

Teacher Support
With the new opportunities of Middle School come new challenges! Getting to class on time, managing assignments from different teachers, having good behavior in the halls as they pass from class to class without teacher escorts, and maintaining their grades for eligibility in extra curriculars are a few areas for 7th and 8th to show their responsibility and build academic and social growth.
Our teachers at these grade levels are very good at helping seventh graders transition from elementary to junior high and very good at helping the eighth graders get ready for high school and the additional benefits and challenges that ninth grade brings!
Our teachers value parental support and communication as together we navigate these years which are very exciting and at times challenging!
