MIDDLE SCHOOL 6-8
The years of growth characterize the students in middle school years. Without growth, there can be no change…without change, there can be no growth. At NFC Academy, we believe growth and change are a complimentary process that, when kept in proper perspective, work together to produce an unsurpassed quality of life.

The NFC Academy Middle School is fully accredited by by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.  NCAA core courses taken in eighth grade for high school credit are approved by the NCAA. 
TEACHER OPTIONS FOR GRADES 6-8
For Middle School grades 6th and 7th you may select to be the primary teacher at home.  We will train you how to use the learning program so as you teach at home you will be able to complete the grading of written assignments, projects, and reports.  You will have a NFC Academy Resource teacher to answer your general questions.
​
Starting in 8th grade, NFC Academy are the primary teachers for all courses.  The home is still essential to be involved in the supervision and encouragement of the student.  You will be able to keep up with the daily assignments and grades as you use your online Parent Portal.
WE TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR RECORDS
We take care of all of your official records at NFC Academy, whether you are in the Homeschool Edition or the Homeschool Advantage Edition.

​Your RenWeb Parent Portal allows you to have report card grades available online as soon as they are completed by Academy teachers. The final report card will be sent to you by the Academy showing completion of the year of study and promotion to the next grade. Any credits that may be earned for high school credit in eighth grade will appear on the student's high school transcript which we will provide.
A LOOK AT YOUR MIDDLE SCHOOL COURSES
All of your course work is online which include your core courses of Bible, Language Arts/English, History, Math, and Science.  Additional electives are available for the student who wishes to take them. The normal load of courses in middle school include the five core courses.

All basic courses are two semesters, but the student will have options for some one semester electives.  Students who may be taking advanced math may take Algebra I in their eighth grade year.  Your courses are all ready where every you are with a computer or most tablets and the Internet.
MIDDLEBURY SPANISH
After completion of the middle school Spanish I first semester students may move into Spanish I second semester. Students who successfully complete these units may have the option of beginning high school Spanish 1 for credit in eighth grade. ​
This middle school Spanish I semester course is filled with interactive language activities with instruction equivalent to that found in the first semester of High School Spanish I. Students begin their introduction to Spanish by focusing on the four key areas of language study: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension activities, speaking and writing activities, multimedia cultural presentations, and interactive activities and practices to reinforce new vocabulary and grammar. There is a strong emphasis on providing context and conversational examples for the language concepts presented in each unit.

The Middlebury world language elective is an additional tuition cost for those families desiring this for their middle school student.

WE WILL SHOW YOU AROUND MIDDLE SCHOOL
Take a look at the video that will tell you about the Middle School online program for grades 6-8.
​
Some of the things we will show you are: you will learn more about accreditations and memberships--see us login and work on a lesson--show you the parent portal so mom and dad can keep up with the student’s work—learn about the largest online library you will have access to do work on special assignments---see how we, through our homeschooling programs, give you extra help in math with the aligned videos to supplement your work in the program and with your teacher---and much more.
VIRTUAL SCIENCE LABS
 The Middle School science program will use virtual labs in both the program...if you are the teacher at home in our Homeschool Edition you will use those provided by the curriculum…and in our Homeschool Advantage where you have selected NFC Academy teachers we will use Smart Science Labs as our virtual partner.
​
Using virtual labs provides a base standard for all labs and does not require you to shop for lab equipment and lab supplies to conduct experiments. Not only does it save time for you, but it saves in the cost. NFC Academy teachers will register their assigned students in the Smart Science Lab program and they have their own login and password.

​
For each math course’s Academic Instructional Library in online grades 3-12 we have aligned additional instructional videos with each daily assignment. This is in addition to the instructional material in the curriculum and provided by Academy teachers in the Homeschool Advantage program, or the parent teacher at home.

USE OUR ASSESSMENT TESTING
NFC Academy knows there are a variety of resources that should be used for educational placement for the student’s best success. Included in those comprehensive resources are items like previous school records, annual testing results, professional reports along with the option of diagnostic testing if needed, or if you just think it best.

All resources are important along with the input from the parent related to the student’s records thus far in school. We offer diagnostic testing at no charge for our enrolled students 1st – 8th grade. All testing is online for students entering 4th grade and above and a hard copy test administered at home for students entering 1st  – 3rd grade. 
ANNUAL TESTING AVAILABLE
Some states require some form of annual standardized testing for homeschool students. Typically, a test must be called a norm referenced test and not one similar to the various state created tests.

To enable our families to meet this requirement and to help us evaluate our academic program we make the Stanford Achievement Test Online available for our students.

The test given in April each year is online for grades 3-11 and for our K-2nd grade we use the booklet tests for students. The most recent test results for our middle school students is in the image showing the percentile scores of our students who took the test.  The median percentile score on this test is at the 50th percentile and you can see our students score well above that average. ​
