By the time students reach fifth grade, they are ready to become more independent, think critically about what they are learning, and embrace a variety of new social opportunities. It’s a season of growth and change that — in the right environment — equips students for success in high school and beyond. As a parent, you want to be intentional about what your child learns, and how your child learns, during this formative season of life.
Covenant Christian Academy is the only private middle school program in Colleyville, TX, that uses a Classical approach to help students thrive academically, develop leadership skills, and deepen their walk with the Lord. As pre-teens discover their God-given interests and talents, we provide a wide range of extracurricular activities and real-world learning experiences to equip them for the opportunities ahead.
Looking for a Middle School Where Your Student Can Excel?
We believe middle school is more than a bridge between elementary and high school. Our program is intentionally split into two divisions, which helps us make the most of each child’s developmental stage.
Middle school students desire a sense of belonging and easily find the community they crave at Covenant. Class sizes are kept small to allow for teacher mentoring and peer discussion. We foster a positive culture where honorable character is praised, and students are compelled to respect themselves, and one another, as they model biblical values.
Middle school is the prime time to develop leadership skills. We provide a variety of opportunities for students, including:
If we want our students to thrive in an ever-changing world, we must train them to think for themselves. The Middle School curriculum has a heavy emphasis on reasoning and critical thinking. Teachers across all subjects integrate this into their curriculum through meaningful discussion. Students take a formal logic class in eighth grade to further develop critical thinking skills.
We offer a wide range of electives, clubs, and extracurricular activities for middle school students. Students explore Art, Applied Technology, Drama, Strings, and Choir, and may participate in various athletic opportunities. Parent-coached sports are available through sixth grade, with 15 school-sponsored teams beginning in seventh grade. New facilities include a turf field for football and soccer, a competition baseball field, a weight room, and two full-size gymnasiums.
“Our family is forever grateful that the Lord led us to Covenant Christian Academy. There’s no other place I’d rather my son be during these crucial teenage years. CCA works alongside us in growing his faith, encouraging strong morals and values and holding him accountable so that he may grow into an amazing man of God.” — Brooke Barker, mom of three CCA students
