The Middle School is in a separate two story building with the school Art Room, Main Office, Counselor’s office and a large meeting room. It is supervised by the Middle School Principal.
The Middle School curriculum is based on a two semester year with two quarters per semester. Each semester, students are required to take five solids plus Bible. The school day is divided into eight 40 minute periods with a lunch break.
The Junior class operates the Canteen near the High School to provide snacks and food for the Middle School and High School students. There are also Nigerian vendors who sell local foods like suya (roasted meat), puff puff (like large donut holes) and fried potato chips with all the pepper you want.
Due to the small class sizes, not only is there a good teacher/student ratio in the classroom but most students are involved in the extra-curricular activities including discipleship classes.
