Our Transformative Middle School Culture
BUILDING AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS
Teachers meet students where they are academically and spiritually, applying Scripture to social and cultural issues. Mentorship includes classroom connections, seminars, and the popular Eighth Grade Spiritual Retreat.
DEVELOPING STRONGER CHARACTER
Your child will grow spiritually and gain a deeper understanding of their identity in Christ through daily Bible classes, engaging worldview discussions, weekly chapel services, quarterly small groups, and student service opportunities.
HONORING THEMSELVES AND OTHERS
Following Christ’s example, our goal is to nurture a community where students genuinely care for one another, while guiding them through the process of learning from setbacks and accomplishments with grace, compassion, and understanding. Additionally, Wesleyan’s Student Support Team provides guidance and resources for navigating issues like anxiety, peer relationships, modesty, self-confidence, and leadership, all rooted in a biblical worldview.
INTENTIONAL ACADEMIC PREPARATION
Middle school students are encouraged to become more independent in their study habits and take greater responsibility for their behavior. We teach at an accelerated rate in order to prepare them for high school course selection with guidance from our College Counseling Director. Additionally, students learn accountability by managing daily assignments, tests, and projects, while also having the freedom to choose electives with the support of faculty and parents.
Middle School Distinctives
Academic Rigor
Our high school and college-preparatory curriculum blends modern technology with invaluable student and teacher interactions in a traditional classroom. Your child will develop critical thinking skills through engaging classroom discussions, peer reviews, individual and group projects, writing assignments, and public speaking. Wesleyan offers an academically challenging environment while providing instructional support for those who need it through our Resource classes and Enrichment Center.
Leadership Opportunities
At Wesleyan, middle school students have access to a wide range of leadership opportunities designed to foster personal growth and responsibility. These include peer-to-peer mentoring, servant leadership roles, and participation in community service projects. Students can also get involved through Junior Beta Club, civic leadership roles, various student clubs and organizations, and athletic teams, all providing valuable experiences in teamwork and leadership development.
INNOVATIVE ELECTIVES
Wesleyan middle schoolers can explore their passions through grade-specific electives such as Band, Chorus, Christian Life Strategies, Fine Art, Fitness and Conditioning, Photography/Graphic Design, Social Skills, Spanish, and Technology. Popular clubs and activities have included Astronomy Club, Battle of the Books, Bible Studies, Chess Club, Drama Club, Gamers Club, Jr. Beta Club, LEGO Robotics, Math Olympics, Student Leadership, and the Eighth Grade Spiritual Emphasis Retreat.

Campus Safety
A Safe Place to Learn and Grow
You can take comfort in knowing that safety is a top priority on our K-12 campus, located in the heart of North Carolina’s Piedmont Triad area.
Although all of our students are located on the same campus and under one roof, each school program has a dedicated area on our campus for its students. Safety measures include two full-time police officers, indoor/outdoor camera surveillance, secure entry points, and a parent/visitor check-in and screening process. We also participate in critical incident drills, weather emergency drills, and we are proud of our dedicated and trained, first responder team.
