This world is a challenging place for everyone; each individual needs special care and support to fulfill their potential. The needs of early adolescents are especially distinctive. During this time marked by so much change, tweens and teens need a safe place to grow and thrive. When it comes to middle school education, an academically-challenging curriculum fused with a nurturing environment can serve as a springboard for a lifetime of success in school, careers and healthy relationships, in addition to overall well-being.
Legacy Christian Academy’s program supplies support and guidance so that each student discovers new interests, develops intellectual integrity, grasps increasingly-challenging academic concepts, builds healthy relationships, grows in confidence and strengthens independent thinking skills. Qualities like these are the groundwork for success in high school, college and beyond.
Other key components parents should consider seeking out for their middle school children include:
• College-preparatory and accelerated courses in math, foreign language and science; success in these subjects correlates directly with success in the 21st-century economy
• Global education that instills a deeper understanding and appreciation for cultures, people and challenges around the globe
• Service-learning projects that teach students about key global issues and empower them to actively participate in solutions
• Solid reasoning, communication and technological skills with the experience to apply them to complex moral and pragmatic issues in our increasingly-interconnected world
Dr. Matthew Northrop is the principal of Legacy Christian Academy. Customized campus tours are available for incoming grades Kindergarten through eighth; at time of print, several middle school spots are still available for Fall 2015. Legacy Christian Academy has officially been selected by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) as one of its nominees for the prestigious National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. This nomination honors Legacy Christian Academy as an “exemplary, high-performing school.”
