JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Academic Guidelines
The curriculum of Mountain View Christian Schools is college preparatory. The emphasis of Junior High school
is to prepare our students for the academic rigors of high school. Junior High school students should develop the
listening, note taking, and study habits that are needed to be successful at the next level. Since MVCS is an
accelerated, college-preparatory school, all junior high students will take pre-algebra in 7th grade and Algebra 1
in 8th grade. A review of junior high math performance will determine math placement in Mountain View Christian
High School. Semester grades for Junior High School are calculated using 35% of each quarter grade (a total of
70%) and 30% of the semester final.

Electives
MVCS offers a variety of elective opportunities for our Junior High school students. It is recommended that all
Junior High school parents meet with MVCS Guidance Counselor Shirley Mathis prior to entering Junior High in
order to make a plan for electives that suit their interest levels.

Preparing For High School
Upon entering 7th grade, junior high school parents have the choice of selecting course work that will allow their
students to earn high school credit while in 8th grade. It is recommended that towards the end of the 8th grade
year, parents should meet with the MVCS Guidance Counselor Shirley Mathis to discuss the benefits of attending
Mountain View Christian High School.
