Growing the Future.

Over the course of three short years, students grow from childhood to young adulthood. These years are foundational—academically, socially, and spiritually. At SRCS, we are honored to walk alongside our students during this critical time, helping them develop strong character, leadership skills, and a Christ-centered worldview.

Shaping Hearts and Minds

Our dedicated team of Christian educators sees Middle School not as a challenge, but as a unique opportunity to guide, disciple, and equip the next generation of leaders. Through high academic standards, spiritual formation, and intentional mentorship, we partner with families to nurture students as they grow "in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52)

Middle school is a transformative season in a student's life—where children step into adolescence and begin to discover who they are and who God has called them to be. At Spanish River Christian School, we embrace this journey with purpose, passion, and prayer.

Leadership Opportunities

At SRCS, leadership begins early. From Preschool through Middle School, students are encouraged to serve others and grow in responsibility. It starts in the classroom with simple helper roles and expands as students mature—offering meaningful opportunities to lead by example and reflect Christ-like character.

By Middle School, students can actively participate in a variety of leadership roles, including:

  • Student Assistants – Support teachers and staff with classroom or office tasks

  • Event Greeters & Ushers – Represent SRCS at school-wide events and welcome guests

  • Athletics – Develop teamwork and leadership skills through sports participation

  • National Junior Honor Society – Recognize academic excellence and lead in service

  • Student Council – Plan events, promote school spirit, and represent the student body

  • Chapel Leaders – Help lead worship, prayer, and Scripture readings during chapel

  • Peer Mentors – Guide and encourage younger students through positive relationships

These roles help students develop confidence, responsibility, and a heart for service—foundations that will serve them well both now and in the future.

“We are cultivating next-generation leaders. We believe that in order to learn and grow, students must do more than passively receive information. They must take an active role in learning and leading each other towards a better understanding of the current challenge.”
