Fifth through Eighth Grade
Your child’s middle school years are crucial for developing leadership skills and preparing for high school. At Abiding Savior Lutheran School, we nurture these abilities with a well-rounded curriculum and a supportive environment.
At Abiding Savior, middle schoolers…
If this sounds like a good fit for your family, we’d love to meet you!
In grades 5-8, students will deep dive into novels each year, exploring everything from the setting and characters to the author’s message and Biblical principles. Our goal is to help them become thoughtful, empathetic readers who can connect with stories on a deeper level.
Students develop the skills to express their thoughts in writing through various types of essays, including summaries, reflections, and narrative pieces. As they progress, they will start using MLA formatting to prepare for high school. Weekly spelling lessons and tests keep their language skills sharp, while book clubs and independent reading projects allow them to share and discover new ideas together. This comprehensive approach nurtures a love for reading and writing that will last a lifetime.
We aim to inspire curiosity and foster a deep understanding of the natural world in our middle schoolers. Our students develop critical observation, evaluation, and problem-solving skills through hands-on activities and projects that highlight the wonders of God’s creation. They explore life science, earth science, and physical science, covering topics such as cells, living kingdoms, body systems, genetics, Earth, space, weather, physics, and chemistry.
We encourage students to ask questions, seek answers, and appreciate the intricacies of God’s creation, ensuring they are on the right track in science.
We help middle schoolers build a strong foundation and develop a love for mathematics. Students focus on problem-solving, understanding concepts, applying math to real-world situations, and mastering procedural fluency. They also learn essential skills such as place value, decimals, fractions, geometry, measurement, and volume.
As they progress, students prepare for algebra, covering topics like dividing fractions, rational numbers, ratios, one-variable equations, inequalities, and quantitative relationships. Along the way, we encourage them to adopt a growth mindset, learn from their mistakes, and persevere in problem-solving. Through engaging activities and real-world applications, students are on the right track in mathematics.
From outdoor adventures to leadership opportunities, your middle schooler will receive a well-rounded education. Highlights include:
The connection you have with your children’s teachers is wonderful. It allows for further transparency into your child’s behavior/academics in school as well as a heads up on things you can do on the homefront to boost the curriculum they are learning… Simply put, my family loves Abiding Savior Lutheran School. By the way, Pastor Parvey and Pastor/Principal Ryherd (I’m sure the entire staff does as well) know every kid’s name at the school and greet them at the door every day by name. THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME AS A PARENT!!!!!!!
Our experience at Abiding Savior has been absolutely wonderful. The Christ-centered education with caring teachers and involved families make it a welcoming community where I know my son is learning and growing – academically, emotionally and socially. We could not ask for a better education and community that matches our family’s values!
I graduated from Abiding Savior in 2012 and still have yet to find a kind, inclusive, and Christ-centered environment that could even compare to Abiding Savior’s. Between the staff and the education provided at Abiding Savior, there is simply no school like it in town.
I have two boys and they both attend the Early Childhood program at Abiding Savior. We have had a wonderful experience there for the past three years. I feel like my children are loved and cared for by the teachers as if they were their own. They provide a great educational environment as well. My children have grown as students and people. We are grateful to have a place like Abiding Savior Lutheran School.
The school and staff are all amazing. I can’t say enough about this school. I have three boys, and not only do they prepare them for High School, but they also prepare them for life in the real world. My wife and I wanted a school where our boys could not only get a good education but, more importantly, learn about their character as a person, all while growing in their walk with God. You have to find what’s best for you, and for me, we found that here.
My son just completed his Prek 3’s year at Abiding Savior. I am very impressed with how much he has learned this past year but what I love most about his growth is his love for Jesus! He come home singing new Jesus songs and telling me all about the Bible story they read that day. The atmosphere and teachers are very caring, nurturing and engaging!
