Middle School
Middle School Matters Most
Middle school is the turning point—the years when a student’s future trajectory truly takes shape. This is the stage of transformation, where children begin thinking critically, creatively, and independently. It’s when they learn to take ownership of their work, build self-discipline, strengthen their moral character, and develop the habits that define lifelong success.
At the Fairfax Christian School, our middle school program is designed to guide students through this pivotal season with purpose, structure, and confidence. They grow with grace, mature into responsible young scholars, and emerge ready for the challenges of high school and beyond.

Middle school is the most formidable time in a student's development. These are the years of metamorphosis where students grow to think critically, creatively, and independently. Students are taught the skills needed to develop self–discipline, a strong moral character, and a solid work ethic. Our students grow with grace and mature into responsible, focused students.
Middle school students continue with our advanced curriculum. They have opportunities to develop an aptitude for analytical and innovative thinking. Technology is used daily and incorporated into every subject. Students develop strong character and self–discipline to ground them for future success.
Curriculum
Our small class sizes and supportive teachers give Middle School students the confidence they need to advance academically. These students will develop leadership, moral character, communication, and study skills.
Centered on a traditional university–prep curriculum, students study English, mathematics, science, history, foreign language (French, Spanish, and Latin), physical education, music, Bible, and other electives. Writing and technology are integrated throughout the curriculum.
Coursework in middle and high school is curated to ensure students are ready for Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment classes when they reach high school. The textbooks used are often above grade level, and the texts are supplemented throughout the year with special projects, including research papers, oral presentations, lab assignments, and field trips. This coursework is designed to prepare students to take Advanced Placement courses and Dual Enrollment classes in high school.
Extras
Middle school students have a plethora of after-school and extracurricular activities to choose from, including music, drama, competitive sports, and clubs.
