At Seattle Christian, we are committed to providing a premier educational experience for our middle school students. Our middle school houses the seventh and eighth grades with an average enrollment of 110 students. Seven, full-time certificated teachers serve an average of 19 students per class.
The middle school program at SCS was developed utilizing current research on educational best practices and principles of Christian spiritual development. As a result, the program is designed to meet the following goals:
Goal #1: Provide students with rigorous academic instruction fully integrated with scripture and a Christian worldview.
When students experience the connection between God’s Word and their academic studies, learning becomes more than just knowledge—it becomes purpose. They begin to see how biblical truth speaks into every subject, from history and science to literature and the arts. This integrated approach equips them not only with strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also with a heart to serve. With faith as their foundation, students are empowered to impact their neighbors, influence their communities, and make a difference in the world around them for Christ.
Goal #2: Engage students in relevant learning experiences every day.
Instruction that is both timely and hands-on engages students in meaningful ways, providing them with practical tools and transferable skills they can carry into every stage of life. Rather than memorizing facts in isolation, students are actively involved in applying what they learn—whether through projects, problem-solving, collaboration, or real-world experiences. This approach not only deepens their understanding of subject matter but also helps them recognize its relevance beyond the classroom. As a result, students develop confidence, creativity, and the ability to connect learning with life, equipping them to thrive in future studies, careers, and everyday situations.
Goal #3: Foster Christ-like relationships with each other.
As educators, we know that students won’t care how much we know until they know how much we care. Jesus modeled this perfectly—He walked with His disciples, knowing them personally and loving them deeply, and in response they devoted their lives to Him. In the same way, we strive to build authentic relationships with our students, seeing them first as individuals created in God’s image and as fellow believers on their faith journey.
In this environment of care and connection, students not only feel valued by their teachers but also learn to value and encourage one another. They grow in faith together, building friendships rooted in Christ, and discovering what it means to live out their beliefs in community. Our faculty and staff count it a privilege to prepare middle school students in both knowledge and character, equipping them to impact their world for Christ.
My favorite thing about SCS is the sense of community. Everyone supports each other and wants us to succeed. I love how helpful the teachers, kids and parents are both in school and outside of school."
