Middle School

6th Grade - 8th Grade

In our middle school program, we offer a variety of educational experiences designed to build character and help students recognize and apply their God-given potential. Using the California framework as our curriculum foundation for core subjects, we strive to provide every opportunity for academic success. Integrated into this learning experience is our 1-to-1 iPad program, which allows students to engage with content in creative, interactive ways while building digital responsibility. Guided by passionate teachers, students explore the marvels of science and math, the richness of literature and language, and the story of humanity through history, all taught from a distinctly Christian worldview. 

The academic challenge of our core curriculum is complemented with instruction in art, foreign language, music, physical education and technology. Our 7th and 8th grade students choose from an extensive list of electives that include classes as diverse as app design, architecture, coding and robotics, digital art and animation, drone video production, eSports, 3D printing, orchestra, play production, ukulele, and the foundations of worship. 

Bible is taught as a core subject with a strong foundation in apologetics, equipping students to understand, articulate, and defend their faith. Its truths are also intentionally woven into all subjects through Teaching for Transformation (TfT), a framework that helps create authentic, formational learning experiences. Our Bible curriculum and TFT framework invites, nurtures, and empowers students to play their part in God’s story through their everyday learning. As they grow, students are guided to discern what is wise and good in today’s youth culture, build healthy relationships, find strength in worship, and experience the joy of serving others—all while putting their faith into action.

Foothill Christian School is proud of each graduating class it sends out into our community. We believe they are well prepared for the challenges of high school, including the character and integrity to be our future leaders.
