At the heart of our curriculum is an intentional religious education program that nurtures students’ faith and spiritual development. Through daily devotions, Bible study, and catechism, students gain a strong foundation in Lutheran doctrine, understanding God’s Word, and applying it to their lives. Incorporating the 922 Ministries Roots and emphasizing service to their Savior, this curricular approach equips them with a Christian worldview, moral discernment, and the confidence to live as witnesses of Christ in a secular world.

Our math program emphasizes problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and computational skills. These skills are taught in a structured way, preparing students for academic success in high school and beyond. Beyond academics, the study of math encourages critical thinking and perseverance, qualities essential for careers in STEM fields and daily life.

In science, students explore the wonders of God’s creation through inquiry, experimentation, and critical thinking. Our curriculum integrates a respect for God’s design with rigorous scientific principles, ensuring students understand the interplay between faith and science. By fostering curiosity and analytical skills through a hands-on approach, we lay the foundation for future studies in fields like medicine, engineering, and environmental stewardship.

The language arts curriculum develops reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills essential for effective communication. Through exposure to classic and contemporary literature, students cultivate an appreciation for storytelling and human expression while engaging with texts from a Christian perspective. These skills prepare them for success in academics, careers, and their role as articulate, informed citizens of God’s kingdom.

In social studies, students learn about history, geography, government, and culture, developing a broad understanding of the world and their place in it. Lessons are infused with a Christian perspective, highlighting God’s hand in history and the importance of service to others. This prepares students to be thoughtful, informed participants in society who act as Christ-like servants in their communities.

Through music, visual arts, and performance, students express creativity and glorify God with their talents. Our fine arts curricular approach cultivates an appreciation for beauty, discipline in skill development, and confidence in sharing gifts with others. These experiences foster personal growth and open pathways to creative futures.

Physical education promotes the stewardship of the body as God’s temple, encouraging students to develop habits of physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Through a variety of activities, including sports, games, and conditioning exercises, students build physical skills, discipline, and resilience. Emphasis is placed on collaboration and respect for others, preparing students to approach challenges with a spirit of cooperation and determination. This program equips them for a lifetime of physical well-being and service to God and others.

We prepare students for an increasingly digital world by teaching responsible use of technology as a tool for learning and service. Students have the opportunity to engage in various technology platforms, and see how technology can shape our world. Digital literacy and digital citizenship alongside basic technology use skills give our students a quality integrated approach to 21st century technology education.

Introducing students to Spanish fosters cultural appreciation and communication skills, reflecting the Great Commission’s call to share the Gospel globally. Learning a new language also enhances cognitive flexibility and opens doors to diverse opportunities in a connected world.

Departmentalization in middle school (grades 5-8) involves students going to specialized teachers for each subject rather than having a single teacher cover all subjects, as is common in self-contained lower grade classrooms. This approach provides students with subject-specific instruction from educators with expertise in their fields, offering a deeper and more rigorous learning experience. The shift to departmentalization also helps middle school students transition toward greater independence and responsibility, skills essential for high school and beyond. By rotating between classes, students adapt to managing schedules, navigating different teaching styles, and building relationships with a variety of instructors. This mirrors real-world settings and prepares them for the organizational and interpersonal demands of future academic and professional environments.
