Middle School (7-8) - Arborbrook Christian Academy
Middle School at Arborbrook
At Arborbrook Christian Academy, our Middle School, encompassing grades 7-8, is affectionately referred to as Junior High. This is a pivotal stage in a student’s academic and spiritual development. During these years, students are challenged to grow in independence, deepen their thinking, and strengthen their walk with Christ within a supportive and Christ-centered community.
In 2026-2027, 6th grade will transition to Junior High.
