Delaware Christian Middle School is an engaging place of learning, caring for each other, and growing in Christ. Our staff works as a team to provide a strong foundation for students in their academic and spiritual development as they transition toward high school. In addition to strong academics, students are provided a variety of opportunities through their years in the Middle School:
Academics
