Curriculum: Junior High

Junior High at Judson continues using the International Christian Curriculum which correlates well with state standards and prepares the students for high school. The students rotate through 7 classes daily. Field trips continue to be an integral part of the program.

Judson provides a safe environment and an easy transition from elementary to high school. Our small classes enable teachers to take a personal interest in the progress and welfare of each student.

Junior High students have the privilege of using the campus cafeteria to buy lunch every day. Healthy, kid-friendly food is available to buy by-the-item. The cafeteria does not sell candy, snack food or soda.
