MIDDLE SCHOOL IN SALEM
Middle School
The Middle School years are a time of tremendous change and growth.
We believe it is vitally important to provide middle school students with a foundation of faith and learning in an environment that will help them navigate their growth and development in their formative years.
Spiritual Growth
At the heart of our mission is our commitment to helping students grow in their faith. We believe that a strong spiritual foundation is essential for success in life, and we strive to provide opportunities for students to deepen their relationship with God. Our weekly chapel services, weekly small groups, and community service projects are just a few of the ways in which we encourage spiritual growth.

Western’s Middle School focuses on four major developmental needs of a middle school-aged student:
Connected Relationships
The staff at Western are intentional about making each of our middle school students feel connected to the greater group. We strive to ensure that they appreciate their uniqueness and are a vital part of their classes and the WCS community.
Control
We believe that each student should share in control. Middle school students need opportunities to make choices about issues that affect them. We provide opportunities for our students to practice making choices within boundaries that improve self-confidence.
Competency
Middle school students also want to feel competent in what they do. Students who do not feel competent in their studies often create distracting behaviors to mask their feelings. Our staff is committed to working with each student so that they can succeed and flourish academically, socially, and spiritually.
Acceptance
Middle School Students need to feel accepted and loved for who they are, not just what they do. We are purposeful in celebrating the God-given uniqueness we find in each of our students.
What your middle school student can expect:
- Christian teachers that truly value each individual learner
- Small class sizes to ensure individualized instruction
- Engaging electives and extracurricular activities
- Twice weekly Chapel
- Excellent student role models
- An encouraging community
At Western Christian School, we believe that a great education is just the beginning. Our goal is to help students grow in all areas of their lives and to equip them for success in all that they do. If you’re looking for a middle school that provides an excellent education with a strong spiritual foundation, we invite you to join the WCS community.
Parent Partnership
As a Pioneer Parent, you are a vital part of our community. Parents are invited to volunteer in various areas such as classrooms, administration, facilities, events, special projects, etc. Parents are also welcome to attend special activities and eat lunch with their student whenever they would like.
