Middle School Division
At Joshua Academy, our Middle School Division is designed to guide scholars through a critical stage of development—academically, socially, and spiritually. Serving students from 6th through 8th grade, our curriculum emphasizes academic rigor, personal growth, leadership development, and preparation for high school and beyond.
Our approach recognizes the unique developmental needs of middle school students, providing structure and support while encouraging independence and critical thinking. Through small class sizes and dedicated faculty, we create an environment where each student is known, valued, and challenged to excel.
