Middle School
Faith. Character. Success.
At Florida Christian School, our priority is to weave God's presence and plans into every aspect of our education. As students transition into Middle School, we offer separate Bible classes for boys and girls to better address their unique spiritual needs.
We gather once a week for Chapel, where our Chaplain delivers meaningful messages that bring our school community together. In addition to Chapel, we hold "Breakout Sessions," smaller group discussions designed to deepen our understanding of God's Word. For some students, this is a continuation of their faith journey from home; for others, it's a new beginning that God has set in motion. It is exciting to see how God shapes our middle school students.
Our rigorous academic program challenges them to excel, with Honor classes available for incoming 6th graders and High School credit and Pre-AP courses for our 7th and 8th graders. Each class is infused with Biblical principles, ensuring that our focus remains on our Creator. We also organize family events both during the day and in the evening to strengthen the connection between home and school.
We are committed to developing our students into World-Changers who give back to our younger students and contribute positively to our community. Our aim is to cultivate strong, character-driven individuals who embody the values of a Florida Christian Patriot—proud of their faith and their nation.
We believe that partnering with parents to nurture each student will help them grow into dedicated disciples of the Lord. We set high standards, aiming for our students to excel academically above the national average. Through consistent practice, long-term memory development, and regular assessments, we prepare them for a successful high school journey at Florida Christian School.
Florida Christian is more than just a school; we are a family, united in our mission to support and guide our students in their faith and education.
FCS Middle School Courses
Our middle school is comprised of a demanding curriculum where students have the opportunity to take Honors classes, including courses that will count for high school credit.
Theses honor classes are a place for students who are independent readers and would benefit from an accelerated curriculum in English, Math, and/or Science.
Students at Florida Christian School are challenged to make thematic connections across the curriculum, synthesize information, evaluate points of view, and critique readings. There is an emphasis on developing strong, analytical writing skills in every class. Creativity and student choice are promoted and encouraged through project-based learning and assessments such as designing and delivering oral presentations, creating videos, skits, and models, and participating in cooperative learning projects.
Academics
STEAM Program
Every grade level participates in the Fairchild Challenge which consists of multiple STEAM challenges and includes partnerships with the University of Miami, Florida International University, NASA Kennedy Space Center, and National Wildlife Federation. Last year, our school received the Fairchild Challenge Award for being one of the top 16 schools in Miami demonstrating exceptional STEAM integration. From robotics to 3D printing, STEAM learning is transforming our students from being classroom problem-solvers to world changers.

Technology
Nearpod is one of the technology tools we are using to provide students with an engaging and interactive educational experience. It works with any device, which is why we’ve chosen to integrate technology in a “personalized learning” environment. This means that your student may choose whatever device (tablet, laptop, etc…) with which they feel most comfortable. Online tech tools such as Nearpod are used inside and outside of the classroom – as teachers can assign homework and projects incorporating these tools.
Each classroom is equipped with the latest technology – Mimio Boards – which have mirroring capabilities, built-in CPU’s that allows dynamic learning to take place.
Now, if you are concerned about your student being on their phone in class all day, we do have a cell phone policy that restricts usage. Students must place their phones in the cell phone storage area upon entering the classroom. If that is their only tech device, teachers may allow them to retrieve them when working on an in–class assignment that requires the use of a device. However, teachers can move about the room to monitor usage and many of the applications have monitoring capabilities built-in.
We recently completed an entire multi-campus renovation project where the classrooms received all new flooring, furniture and LED lighting, to give them a modern look that is consistent with 21st-century learning.
And beyond...
Yes, and while academics are of ultimate priority at FCS, we understand that most parents believe that as their children enter Middle School they are also entering a very different world. A world their child and they themselves as a parent do not understand.
In our current society of peer pressure and social media, their environment and support system can either help build your child or tear them down. That is why FCS is not only committed to providing your student with excellent academics, but also a community of administrators and faculty you can trust along with open lines of communication as we partner together for the success of your child not only academically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually. We hope to encourage Christlikeness in students and instill in them a desire to know more about God and finally to encourage students to apply Bible knowledge to their daily lives.
