We view Middle School as a milestone in a student’s life. The days of elementary school are behind them and they are actively preparing for high school. Our desire is that students at this level grow in important areas of freedom, responsibility, and in their walk with Christ.

In August the entire Middle School heads to the mountains for an overnight Spiritual Emphasis Retreat. The retreat allows time for serious conversations, bonding with one another, and worship. This is the age when kids are making a choice for Christ for themselves. Spiritual Emphasis Retreat provides an amazing opportunity for Middle School students to commit or recommit their lives to Christ.

Throughout the year every opportunity for discipleship is taken. Weekly chapels, Bible classes, and one-on-one mentoring are regularly found on campus. Redding Christian Middle School students stand out from the crowd. The school culture embraces mutual respect and acceptance of others. When incidents come up we believe in restorative action. We stand for justice, but love is always at the core of our conversations with students.

Opportunities to participate in athletics, music, and drama are open to all students. This gives students a chance to discover their gifts and talents and assists us with our goal of preparing these students for high school.

Academics are designed to challenge the student but consideration is given to the whole child. We believe that while students should be expected to succeed academically, they also need to have time for family and church activities.
