Welcome to 6th Grade
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” - Joshua 1:9
Dear Parents,
I am excited as we begin an exciting new chapter with 6th grade joining our middle school program. My hope and prayer for this year is to help students grow academically, spiritually, and socially as they take this important step toward greater independence and responsibility.
Blessings,

2026-27 Curriculum
BIBLE
Mrs. Eacker
Our 6th grade Bible curriculum is Winning the Race, by Positive Action. Its lessons encourage students to review essential New Testament doctrines and discuss how God strengthened various biblical figures to run their race.
MATH
Mrs. Eacker
Our 6th grade math curriculum is Saxon Math, Course 1, which uses a spiral approach that introduces new concepts gradually while continually reviewing past skills. Each lesson features practice, problem-solving, and cumulative review to strengthen understanding, build critical thinking skills, and connect math to real-life situations.
HISTORY
Mrs. Montgomery
Using Mystery of History, Volume II, students will learn about the history of the Early Church (A.D. 33) through the Middle Ages. This exciting Bible-based curriculum incorporates hands-on activities that supplement our journey through time. Lessons include the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the invasion of the Vikings, Richard the Lionhearted, Vladimir I, William Wallace, Joan of Arc, the Black Death, the Forbidden City, and much more.
SCIENCE
Mrs. Bradley
This science course is designed for students to discover God’s orderly world in which God created (Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:16). We will pull material from Apologia along with other supplemental resources. Students will keep a scientific journal in which they record material, report their findings from lab work, and grow in their understanding of scientific language and thinking.
In addition, students receive half a science credit for nature study. In this portion of the course, students practice careful attention to and appreciation of the created world around them as a way to grow more personally connected to the Creator. They will experience weekly study of an element of nature by way of nature walks, a reading of informational narrative on a nature element, as well as an integrated art element. Students will keep a nature study journal full of sketches, watercolor paintings, and personal reflection and summary of the objects studied.
ENGLISH
Mrs. Bronis
Students will explore various literary genres in this course, to include: historical fiction, Shakespearean drama, devotional poetry, and native legends. Students will learn how to close-read any text, critically examine the author's messaging, and ask open-ended discussion questions to encourage their peers to think deeply about the text. Students will strengthen their creative and expository writing skills by working through the writing process for a variety of writing purposes (to inform, to persuade, to entertain). They will also maintain a Writer's Notebook where they will take note of literary elements, track a text's thematic development, and draft their written responses/ essays. Class literature for 2026-27 TBD.
