Laying the Framework
Middle school at RECA is where the foundation laid in elementary school comes to life. Students grow academically, spiritually, and socially, gaining independence while continuing to be guided and supported by caring teachers. We partner with parents to help every student navigate these crucial years, equipping them with knowledge, character, and faith that will carry them confidently into high school and beyond.
Academic Excellence and Engagement
In middle school, students take the solid academic base built in elementary and begin applying it with greater depth, independence, and critical thinking. Our small class sizes allow teachers to challenge students academically while still giving them the individualized support they need during this pivotal season of growth.
Through a carefully chosen, Christ-centered curriculum, students engage with more rigorous coursework in math, science, language arts, and history—learning not only what to think, but how to think; with wisdom and discernment. Hands-on projects, discussions, labs, and creative assignments keep learning active and engaging, helping students discover how their developing abilities connect to real-world purpose.
At RECA, we come alongside parents to guide students through increasing responsibility, deeper study habits, and a growing desire to understand God’s world. Middle schoolers don’t just continue learning, they begin to take ownership in their learning.
*We are proud to partner with the Concord Christian School athletics program as a formal TSSAA co-op, the co-op allows RECA students to try out or join any CCS team within middle school or high school.
