Middle School and Junior High
 

Middle School Program
The Middle School program, grades 5-6, follow a "middle school" model rather than an elementary design. The day is divided into eight 40 - 45 minute periods (plus homeroom and lunch).  Each period is focused on a core subject area or on an extracurricular class.  Middle School teachers teach in their particular areas of expertise, which allows them to focus on and prepare for fewer classes.  It also assures students of receiving instruction from teachers who are passionate about the subject areas they teach.  Changing classes throughout the day will help students learn to manage their time, supplies, and schedules.

Jr. High Program
Our Jr. High program is both innovative and exciting.  Our students will receive the very best academic preparation through a balance of technology-based and traditional instruction, a distinctive of the program.

Students will have their own laptops throughout the school year.  They will use technology and many of its applications to access curricular content, communicate, gather data and information for research, and produce documents.  They will utilize computer skills to design, produce, demonstrate, and present - in all areas of the curriculum.

WCA's Jr. High students will not be building-bound, either.  They will find themselves involved (laptop in hand) in field study opportunities that will extend and enrich their learning  - particularly in the fields of science and social studies.  In the spring they will participate in 4 -day capstone field trips experiences with 7th graders taking a geographic and historic tour of Texas and 8th graders getting first-hand international missions experience through a service project trip to Belize.

To further enrich academic development, Jr. High students will be able to choose 2 one-semester electives from a list created to appeal to a wide array of interests.  There will also be after-school electives available to round-out this forward-thinking program.

Jr. High at Westminster Christian Academy will not only be a wonderful academic journey, it will be an adventure our students will never forget!
