THE MIDDLE SCHOOL EXISTS TO FACILITATE A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN THE DEPENDENCE OF THE LOWER SCHOOL YEARS AND THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE UPPER SCHOOL YEARS. WE CALL THESE THE "BRIDGE YEARS." THE PRIMARY GOAL FOR EACH STUDENT IS TO LEARN HOW TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY. THE ACADEMIC SKILLS THAT WERE TAUGHT IN LOWER SCHOOL YEARS ARE REINFORCED AND BUILT UPON IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT WORTH ANYTHING UNLESS ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT APPROPRIATELY. CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS CONTINUE TO BE DEVELOPED IN EACH STUDENT. IN ORDER FOR EDUCATION TO BE COMPLETE IT MUST BE BASED ON A STANDARD OF TRUTH. THE BIBLE IS THE STANDARD UPON WHICH THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM AT SFCS IS BASED.

THE LOWER SCHOOL (K-5) AND PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS PROVIDE A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR A LIFETIME OF LEARNING. OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY IS BASED ON THE VISION OF THE SCHOOL: TO SEEK TO HONOR GOD BY PREPARING CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF TOMORROW TO SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHILE ADHERING TO STATE STANDARDS, SFCS INTEGRATES BIBLICAL TRUTH IN ALL SUBJECT AREAS. THE ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF BETTER EQUIPPING OUR STUDENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN LEADERS.
