Thank you for your interest in our Middle School Pod-Learning.

We know this is a stressful time to be a parent. We want to help you as you look at this upcoming school year. We are offering a pod-learning module for middle school students.

  • Small Class Size - We are limiting this pod to twenty-five students. They will meet in our children’s worship area. This will be their designated area and it is away from students outside the pod-learning.
  • Desk Space - Each student will share a table with one other student. Plexiglass dividers will be placed between the students.
  • Technology - In order to make sure we can help the students with their online classes, we are requiring a technology fee of $1000. This fee purchases a MacBook Air with three years of AppleCare. The student will own the MacBook. We will provide a locking cabinet so the students can leave this laptop when they go home. If there is a statewide shut down of schools, the student will take the laptop home to continue their learning.

We love our students and their families. Our core values are:
