Middle School
6th- 8th Grade
Your child applies all the foundational life skills and inquiry-based learning principles to become confident independent learners! A big focus at this age is building self-esteem and healthy relationships. The goal of middle school is to prepare students for a successful transition to high school.
Highlights of the program
A Foundation for Life
Divine Savior Academy's middle school students are engaged in a dynamic curriculum that appeals to all types of learners. As an extension of our elementary program, the middle school curriculum continues to support our students by providing excellence in education in all areas of development: physical, spiritual, social, emotional, and academic development.
Active Learning
In middle school, students learn in a departmentalized setting and rotate from class to class in order to learn from specialized teachers in their course schedule. A variety of teaching approaches including active learning, the use of technology, and STEM-focused (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) lessons prepare our students for college, careers, and life in an ever-changing world.
Individual Attention
At Divine Savior, we value each child as a unique individual and seek to meet every child's needs. Our teachers work to develop lessons, establish relationships, and create an environment where our students enjoy learning and are able to succeed. Small class sizes, low teacher-student ratios, and a family environment support our goal of providing individual attention to all our students.

FINE ARTS
Designed to create a well-rounded education, DSA's fine arts program also seeks to develop the God-given abilities of each individual student. Music classes, instrumental lessons, choir, drama productions, visual art, and after-school activities are some of the ways that students can participate in the fine arts at DSA.
See & Serve
At the middle school level, students get to see new places through experiential learning trips and serve through hands on projects that foster teamwork, leadership, and a sense of purpose.

Clubs & Activities
Clubs at Divine Savior Academy are student-led and student-driven, so offerings vary from year to year depending on student interest and the unique needs of each incoming class of students. Through club participation, students learn to organize and lead, as well as bond over shared interests and experiences. Additionally, activities like academic fairs, spirit weeks, and more are available to enrich the middle school experience for our students.
