Your child will grow spiritually through daily Bible classes and worldview discussions, weekly chapel services, quarterly spiritual small groups led by faculty and staff, and community service opportunities.

MODELING GRACE AND FORGIVENESS

Following Christ’s example, we want our students to demonstrate grace and mercy toward their classmates. Our goal is to help our students care for one another and walk our students through the process of learning from mistakes.

HONORING THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER

Wesleyan’s Student Support Team, made up of key counselors and mentors, creates podcasts and hosts seminars to address anxiety, modesty, and peer groups from a biblical worldview.

Middle School Distinctives

A Christ-centered, student-focused learning environment

Academic Rigor

Our high school and college-preparatory curriculum blends technology with invaluable student and teacher interactions in a traditional classroom. Your child will develop critical thinking skills through engaging classroom discussions, peer reviews, individual and group projects, writing assignments, and public speaking. Wesleyan offers a challenging environment for gifted students while providing instructional support for those with learning differences.

Leadership Opportunities

Multiple leadership opportunities are available to our middle school students, including peer-to-peer mentoring, servant leadership, community service projects, Junior Beta Club, civic leadership roles, student clubs and organizations, and athletic involvement.

Innovative Opportunities

Your child can explore their interests through grade-specific electives that include Band, Chorus, Christian Life Strategies, Fine Art, Fitness and Conditioning, Photography/Graphic Design, Social Skills, Spanish, and Technology. Popular clubs and organizations have included Astronomy Cub, Battle of the Books, Bible study groups, Chess Club, Drama Club, Eighth Grade Spiritual Emphasis Retreat, Fellowship of Student Athletes, Gamers Club, LEGO Robotics, Math Olympics, praise band, Red Cross Youth Club, spelling bee, and Young Entrepreneurs Club.

Competitive Athletics

Wesleyan boasts a championship-caliber athletics program that includes 42 team state titles and 74 individual state crowns. The Trojans participate in the Piedmont Triad Athletic Conference (PTAC) and are members of the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association (NCISAA).  Middle school teams include basketball, baseball, cross-country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track, volleyball, and wrestling.

High School Prep

Setting them up for success today and tomorrow

Intentional Academic Preparation

Middle school students are learning to be increasingly independent in their academic study habits and are taking on more responsibility for their behavior.  Students begin to discuss academic options after high school and are encouraged to attend Wesleyan’s annual on-site Christian college fair.  Eighth grade students sit for the PSAT and prepare for high school course selection during our parent night hosted by the Director of College Counseling.

Personal Growth

All Wesleyan students are expected to abide by biblical principles when relating to and communicating with their peers, parents, and teachers.  Our students are held accountable for their behavior in school, while participating in off-campus activities, and while online.

Class Schedules

Our students develop accountability as they keep track of daily assignments, weekly tests and quizzes, and quarterly projects. As they gain more independence in middle school, Wesleyan students can choose their own electives, with the support of our faculty, staff, and parents. 

Mentorship

Our middle schoolers invest time with our elementary students through a dedicated reading buddies program.  Middle School Student Ambassadors welcome new students to campus and help new friends adjust to their new school home. In addition, middle schoolers benefit from participating in various service projects and student leadership opportunities through athletic teams and other student clubs and organizations.

You can take comfort in knowing that safety is a top priority on our K-12 campus, located in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad area.

Although all of our students are located on the same campus and under one roof, each school program has a dedicated area on our campus for its students. Safety measures include two full-time police officers, indoor/outdoor camera surveillance, secure entry points, and a parent/visitor check-in and screening process. We also participate in critical incident drills, weather emergency drills, and we are proud of our dedicated and trained, first responder team.
