6th Grade Academy

Bridging the gap between elementary and junior high.

A Bold New Step for 6th Grade at CCS!

Cornerstone Christian Schools (CCS) is excited to announce a transformative educational initiative aimed to better prepare students for their academic futures: the launch of the 6th Grade Academy. We are proud to be only the second school in Texas to implement this innovative program, reinforcing our commitment to educational excellence and leadership in student development. The academy will move 6th grade out of the traditional middle school setting and into its own program within the elementary school building, providing a nurturing, skill-building environment designed to bridge the gap between elementary and junior high.

Why This Change?

The shift to the 6th Grade Academy stems from a deep understanding of the unique challenges 6th graders face. At this age, students begin to seek more independence but still benefit from a supportive structure. This program offers the best of both worlds by keeping them in a familiar environment while preparing them for the greater challenges of junior high.

Key Benefits of the 6th Grade Academy

 

  • A Smooth Transition: The academy allows for a gradual progression into the junior high experience, helping students build critical life skills like time management and organization without the abrupt shift of a traditional middle school setting.
  • Leadership Opportunities: As the oldest students in the elementary school, 6th graders will take on important leadership roles, mentoring younger students and serving as role models within the school community.
  • Tailored Curriculum: The program features a specialized curriculum focused on fostering independence and preparing for junior high, incorporating rotating classes, project-based learning, and a deeper dive into key subjects like science, math, Bible, and ELAR.
  • Exclusive 6th-Grade Perks: Students in the 6th Grade Academy will enjoy special electives, leadership councils, enrichment clubs, and mentorship opportunities with junior high students.

A Win for Families and Students

This new structure provides families with peace of mind, knowing that their students will experience a supportive and gradual transition into junior high. By focusing on emotional, spiritual, and academic growth, CCS ensures that 6th graders will be better equipped for the challenges ahead.

By creating this 6th Grade Academy, we are providing our students with a unique opportunity to thrive, both academically, spiritually, and personally. Being one of only two schools in Texas to adopt this model, we are confident this program will prepare our students for success, not just in junior high, but in life.

We eagerly anticipate the launch of the 6th Grade Academy in the 2025-2026 school year and look forward to watching the next generation of Warriors grow, lead, and excel in this exciting new environment.
