Transforming the Middle School Experience

Middle school represents one of life’s most transformative seasons, and at Maranatha, we’ve crafted our program to embrace these pivotal years. Rather than viewing this phase as a bridge between elementary and high school, we recognize it as a unique opportunity for students to discover who they are in Christ and explore their distinct gifts.

This vision led to our strategic decision to establish a dedicated middle school program with dedicated administration—Allen Banks as Principal. This structure ensures our 5th through 8th-grade students receive focused attention during these formative years.

At Maranatha, we understand that being a Christian school doesn’t mean the absence of challenges. When challenges arise, we walk alongside students as they navigate friendship dynamics, understanding their identity in Christ, purpose and personal growth, all through biblical wisdom and understanding. Our teachers and staff maintain an intentional presence in hallways, classrooms, and activities, creating an environment where every student feels known and valued.
