Academic Program
It is during the middle school years that young people develop their commitment to learning and discover what it means to be responsible, independent students. Long Island Lutheran’s Middle School comprises students in grades six through eight, guided by a team of teachers who provide a stable and supportive atmosphere.

The middle school program is a three-year sequence in which students study the five basic core academic subjects: English, math, science, social studies, and foreign language. Additional course work is provided in religion, art, music, library skills, computer, health, and physical education. Because of the high caliber of LuHi students and the academic challenge inherent in our program, eligible middle school students can attain high school credit in both math and foreign language.

The middle school academic program emphasizes a respect for diverse learning styles, team and interdisciplinary teaching, and varied experiences with cooperative learning, research, and group presentations. This allows opportunities for students to develop cognitive growth while incorporating exploratory experiences for enrichment. Each student’s academic program bridges the gap between self-contained classrooms and departmental classrooms – making for a smooth transition to our high school.
