Welcome to Middle Years
Academic Program
The LCS Middle Years program uses the full Manitoba school curriculum, with the added thread of a biblical worldview woven across all subject areas. Students experience an integrated approach to learning curriculum while living out spiritual values in the world around them.
Student Support
Our goal is to help all students develop the tools they need to be successful at school. Sometimes, that requires extra support, guidance and attention. In addition to providing support in individual subject areas, we also assist students in developing better study habits and organization skills. Education Assistants are available to provide one-on-one or small group support. English as an Additional Language (EAL) services are also available.
Music
The Middle Years music program builds upon the solid foundation of the Early Years. Grade 5 students receive 135 minutes per cycle of Orff-based music training and 30 minutes of choir per cycle. The Grade 6–8 music program is a mandatory combination of band and choir. Students receive 210 minutes of music per cycle including theory and ear training.
Library and Technology
The library staff collaborates with classroom teachers to help develop the literacy skills of our students and teach them to find, evaluate, and ethically and creatively use information. We teach technology in the Middle Years to introduce students to up-to-date tools. We follow provincial guidelines while also teaching students to use ICT responsibly and ethically, to support critical and creative thinking about information, and act as citizens of the global community.
Extra Curriculars
Linden Christian School offers a wide variety of enrichment activities within the classroom that foster skill development, team building, commitment, responsibility, follow through, and character development. Outside of the classroom, a variety of clubs encourage students to grow their interests and abilities. Students can become part of board game clubs, prayer groups, craft clubs, intramural sports, running clubs and more.
