Parkway Christian School’s Middle School program strives to provide the highest level of education to ensure that each one of our students reaches their optimum potential. Our educators provide a plethora of learning experiences that go far beyond the textbook. These experiences include differentiated instruction, activities that appeal to the multiple intelligences, and scenarios that will prepare them for real life situations. Parkway Christian’s philosophy is to guide and educate the “whole child”. Parkway uses a modified block schedule for the four core classes with two meeting every other day for an hour and ten minutes and 45 minute classes for elective and non-core classes meeting every other day.

The MS House is an initiative to build relationships between middle school students, teachers, and staff members. It is a community of teachers and students coming together with the main purpose of encouraging one another while creating positive social relationships. This is done through weekly gatherings. All members build relationships through devotionals, icebreakers, and more.

Our Language Arts curriculum includes high level reading comprehension in genres such as: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and includes essay writing and learning a general command of the English language.

Our Social Studies program deepens students' understanding of the world around them while increasing their knowledge of America from beginning to present. Lessons in World History, Civics and American History allow for important class discussions related to the the long-term, world-wide impact governmental decisions have on everyone. Our goal is to sharpen students' minds and to engage them in thinking critically about important topics that greatly affect present and future generations.
