Middle school at Mount Calvary is 6th through 8th grade.  The goal for our middle school students is to prepare them to be accepted into a Christian High School in Milwaukee. 

90%+ of our graduates are accepted to a private, Christian High School. 

Of which, 50%+ attend a WeTeachTruth school.

A unique highlight of our middle school program is the inclusion of high school–level African-American social studies. We also place a strong emphasis on reading and comprehension, with students completing two major projects each quarter inspired by the novels they study in class.
