*LEST = Lutheran Elementary Schools Tournament

The Middle School program offered by Trinity Lutheran School addresses all facets of the early teenage student: intellectual, social, moral, and physical. Self confidence is nurtured; critical thinking is developed. Academics — and athletics — become more rigorous.

Middle School students participate in a modified block schedule where they rotate through all of their classes. The modified block schedule gives students the opportunity to become accustomed to a high-school block rotation, and teaches them to plan for deadlines and due dates. Students begin to assume responsibility for balancing multiple classes, schedules and extra curricular activities and sports.

Students are placed in math classes according to their ability, giving them the opportunity to be challenged — and excel.

 

Many Trinity Lutheran School competition teams have won championships at the Lutheran Elementary Schools Tournament (LEST) competitions! To see this year’s results, please go to the LEST page!

Goals are set, and patience is learned. Much is asked of our students, but we do so gently. It is during the Middle School years that children learn some of the most profound lessons of life. When these lessons are learned in the context of a Christian foundation through life lessons, daily devotions, and religion classes, we offer students a lifelong strength that sustains them through adversity. Students are given the opportunity to lead weekly school chapel worship through a leadership team called “Gatekeepers.”

In Middle School children learn the value of cooperation, and the rules of competition. Educators design homework projects to reflect growth in intellectual development as well as maturity in expression: art, essays, song, drama, speech, and language.

Community Service Projects are emphasized, and students learn to “do well by doing good.” At Trinity, students often choose the community service projects they wish to become involved with, and they determine how to best contribute. Past community service projects include: Sparrow Club, Rake and Run, Race for a Cause and Habitat for Humanity.
