Mater Christi School’s Middle School (Grades 6-8) provides an environment that facilitates a smooth transition for students to high school. At a time in their lives when profound changes are occurring, Mater Christi students are challenged to become, as we recite each morning in our Mercy Pledge, “courageous and compassionate leaders ready to serve.” Middle schoolers have seven core classes per day, combined with courses in art, music, makerspace, and physical education, along with exposure to a changing fleet of electives such as financial literacy, brain development, media literacy, chorus, and band. The middle school experience equips students to become critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and servant-leaders with eyes on God and a heart for others.
