Middle School
Young adults are naturally inquisitive and thrive in an engaging learning environment that propels their desire to take ownership over their own learning. Rooted in God's truth, Sussex Christian School provides rich, hands-on learning experiences for students to actively investigate and become stewards of God's world. Activities and materials are offered that meet the growing and diverse needs of the teenage students by providing daily opportunities for them to mature intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Sussex Christian School's Middle School program provides a rigorous and diverse academic foundation for accelerated learning while teaching future leaders how to actively love Jesus, to love each other, and to think critically about the world around them. We offer a variety of extracurricular programs and activities in Athletics, Fine and Performing Arts, STEAM, and many more.
