Excited, energetic, enthusiastic! These are some of the characteristics of the middle school student. Capitalizing on these traits, the dedicated, highly-qualified teaching staff of the Delaware County Christian Middle School appropriately challenges and encourages the middle school student to discover the gifts God has given each one to use for His glory.

Located on the Malin Road campus of the Delaware County Christian School, the middle school has its own classroom building and shares the art, music and physical education buildings with the high school. The middle school consists of 254 students in grades 6-8. There are14 full-time middle school teachers, the majority of which have their master's degree.

The strong educational program of the middle school includes the core classes of English, literature, social studies, science and mathematics. Presently, students in 6th grade take Spanish thereby building on the Spanish curriculum that currently begins in second grade. This year’s seventh grade students are offered a class to acquaint them with both Spanish and German while eighth grade students select either Spanish I or German I as their foreign language elective. In addition, computer application (6th and 7th grades ), health, guidance, art, and physical education classes are included in the curriculum. At each of the three grade levels, DC offers a choir with more than fifty members and a middle school band with seventy instrumentalists. The Discovery Center provides support programs for students including educational therapy and resource rooms.

Bible is taught four mornings a week and chapel is held for the entire middle school on Fridays. There are also opportunities to expand other talents in some after-school electives such as: Science Olympiad, newspaper, yearbook, basketmaking, Spanish club, math club, scrapbooking and chess clubs. There is a program of athletic team competition in the following sports: soccer, field hockey, cross country (8th grade), wrestling, basketball, softball and track.

Field trips during the course of the middle school experience include trips to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, Gettysburg, Old Philadelphia, a three day science outdoor education program, the National Holocaust Museum, plays and museums. The eighth grade also begins the school year with a retreat and ends the year with a parent-sponsored banquet as well as a trip to Hershey Park just before graduation.

The middle school is a bridge time between the elementary and high school years. The program at Delaware County Christian School endeavors to meet the unique opportunities of this special time in a student's life. Prospective students are encouraged to spend a day visiting the school with a previously scheduled appointment.
