More than an in-between, middle school is the time when our students learn to build friendships, develop grit when faced with adversity, and discover the gifts our Father in heaven has given each child for service and worship in His kingdom. These years matter. It’s a time when they’ll seek independence, be challenged to maturity, and be stretched to handle bigger responsibilities.
As your child enters this stage of development, what comes to your mind? Perhaps, you’re looking for a learning environment that will prepare your child for high school, or a school where they will build healthy friendships. For many parents, finding a school that embodies the love, care, and discipline of a Christ-centered culture is what matters most. What if all three were reality?
At Lakeland Christian School, we are committed to fulfilling our mission to educate students in the light of God’s Word to equip them for a lifetime of learning, leadership, service and worship. Our middle school program is designed to support and engage students, helping them pursue excellence through a biblical world worldview. Below, you’ll find an overview of what we offer, including:
Student Life and Culture

They will want to be in a place where they can comfortably build relationships with peers and adults who make them feel seen and known. At Lakeland Christian School, our connected and thriving school student life culture allows middle schoolers to:
