Middle School

6th - 8th Grade

The middle school years are a crucial part of life as students move from childhood to adolescence.  The Turning Point Christian Academy middle school program focuses on helping students grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally.  The focus on the TPCA Portrait of a Graduate continues in middle school and includes regularly honoring students who reflect these priority attributes.

  • Spiritually Mature

  • Image Bearer

  • Discerning Thinker

  • Servant Leader

  • Gospel Minded

A Christ-centered worldview is embedded in every subject with an emphasis on developing critical thinking through a biblical lens.

At TPCA, middle school students thrive in a community where they are genuinely loved, valued, and accepted. They are encouraged to embrace their true identity in Jesus Christ and discover the unique purpose for which God created them. Through a biblical worldview, they learn to understand and engage with the world and the people around them. As students transition into this new phase of their education, they adapt to increased academic rigor, navigate diverse schedules, and build relationships with multiple teachers. This stage also empowers them to take greater ownership of their educational journey, fostering growth and responsibility.
