School Starts In:

    Junior High
    Junior High years encompass great opportunity, high energy, and many changes. Our program provides seventh and eighth graders of Wheaton Christian Grammar School with an array of academic, artistic, athletic, social, and service opportunities designed to maximize the junior high years.   The result is a highly personal experience where students prepare for high school in an environment of positive peer relationships.

    With 6 homeroom classes, our students don't fall through the cracks!  We've established weekly Connect Groups, where 8-10 students meet with a teacher or administrator to talk about what's on their minds, and to receive biblically-grounded direction from caring adults.  WCGS students don't receive formula answers to life's tough questions.  Rather, we focus on teaching students how to think critically and filter questions through the grid of God's unchanging Word.  Monthly chapels give junior high students an opportunity to help organize and lead in worship. 

    Surveys of recent graduates have shown that more than 90 percent qualified for advanced classes in high school.  Academically, the WCGS junior high provides a stimulating educational environment which will prepare students for a highly successful high school experience.

    • Students take art, computer, physical education and have the opportunity to participate in choir, band, or music appreciation.

    Do our students work hard?  Yes, but they also enjoy lots of activities geared to their interests, energy, and aptitude for fun.
