Middle School (6-8) - Kelowna Christian School

Middle School

We understand the complicated issues facing pre-teens and teenagers and aim to provide a school program that maintains a balance between the academic, Christian discipleship and personal development. We recognize that adolescents experience rapid physical, personal and social changes in their lives. For some, these years can be difficult as the students search for purpose and meaning.

Our KCS Middle School provides a safe, challenging and engaging environment where Grade 6 – 8 students are supported to discover and pursue their own unique passions and identity. Our Christian teachers reinforce a tight, caring community by guiding students through their challenges and successes.

From Foods and Textiles to Drama and Media, we even have Woodworking, Leadership and Programming. Students discover who they are as they develop socially and explore new challenges and interests.

ENGAGED LEARNING

Middle School should be a time of enthusiasm, exploration, and energy. We desire to create a highly engaging Middle School culture through inspiring and varied academics, leadership opportunities and challenging chapels. Learning takes place in a variety of groupings, with students involved in a diversity of learning projects and experiences that have real-world connections.

COMMUNITY + CULTURE

Middle School is a time when connections really matter, both with peers and with adults. Strength and safety in relationships allow our students the confidence to be outward focused, serving, and act as a leader. Starting with strong homeroom identities, every Middle School student has a place to belong. As well, we have created intentional times for community building, including multi-graded Explorations classes, monthly community chapels, student recognition, and timetabled options for Middle School community-building.

SERVICE + OUTREACH

Every student will be involved in at least one form of service throughout the year (both in the school and in the community). The Middle School community supports Child of Mine, which runs two children’s homes in India.
