Middle School

Welcome to Holland Christian Middle School. It is a school that thrives on learning more about God’s world through appropriately challenging academics, a wide array of extracurricular offerings, and positive social interactions.

Under the care and instruction of skilled Christian educators, students of Holland Christian Middle School receive a solid formative experience rooted in God’s Word.

Our mission at Holland Christian School is, “Equipping minds and nurturing hearts to transform the world for Jesus Christ.” This motto challenges us to not only provide our students with the academic rigor and character shaping experiences necessary for today’s learners, but also instill in our children the vision to participate in God’s redemptive plan here and elsewhere. Truly, there is no place or time where our Lord’s Gospel should not be declared and our witness not needed. We hold it a great honor to invite your students to perform that important work with their lives.

”Holland Christian does so many things well but I have especially appreciated their proactive approach to providing tutoring, leadership development through the behavior interventionist and also the willingness of the teachers to partner with us as parents to help our child improve and be successful. We are so thankful for Holland Christian!
Holland Christian parent

”We are grateful to have the opportunity to send our children to Holland Christian where we know they are being surrounded by fellow believers and being prayed for on a daily basis. We appreciate how well the Bible is incorporated into education, beginning with preschool classes and have been blown away by how well they understand many bible stories and verses. We have had incredible experiences with teachers and feel they communicate extremely well. Our children love going to school and we attribute this to how well they are loved and treated in the classroom. Them learning to know and love Jesus is our main priority and we are so grateful for the support we have in this through their education.
