Middle School (Grades 6–8) is a time of transformation and at Highlands Christian Academy in Pompano Beach, we help students embrace it with confidence, character, and Christ at the center. As they transition from the structured environment of Lower School, students gain new opportunities, increased independence, and greater responsibility. At Highlands, middle schoolers aren’t “stuck in the middle” they’re empowered to lead and grow in every area of life.

Academic Excellence with Support

Our Middle School program prepares students for the challenges of high school and beyond with a rigorous, faith-integrated curriculum. We lay strong foundations across core subjects and encourage students to consider honors-level courses.

Students benefit from a range of support options:

• Help Classes for targeted academic support

• After-School Study Hall to assist with organization and homework

• Junior High STAR Program to prepare students for honors-level learning

Standardized test scores consistently place HCA students above the national average. In addition to academic rigor, students enjoy engaging electives like computers, fine arts, and robotics.

Community-Centered Learning

At Highlands in Pompano Beach, we prioritize healthy, age-appropriate relationships that reflect Christian values. Students are taught to lead with compassion, respect, and integrity—both inside and outside the classroom.

We also foster strong parent-teacher partnerships, recognizing that raising children in today’s world is a shared responsibility. Our faculty stands beside families to reinforce biblical values and help students thrive socially and spiritually.

Faith and Leadership Formation

Middle School is often when students begin forming a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. At Highlands, our staff serve as Christian role models and mentors, ready to walk alongside students as they grow in their faith.

Through weekly Bible teaching, service opportunities, and missions projects, our students learn what it means to live a life of purpose and share Christ’s love with the world around them
