HighWay = integrated Faith Studies and Life Skills for middle schoolers
Before the word “Christian” was invented, disciples of Jesus were known as followers of “the Way” (see, for example, Acts 9:1-2). Adopting a playful variation of this rich biblical metaphor as our class title and theme, TES middle school students on the “HighWay” will dive deeply into the Bible and principles of Christian faith while at the same time asking how these teachings apply to their daily living. At each grade level students will explore developmentally appropriate social skills topics to encourage healthy relationships with self, peers, family and community. Homework assignments will encourage dialog at home, giving family members an opportunity to travel with their students on the journey. The goal is to equip them to take the “high” road in life, combining social intelligence, scholarship and devotion to become faithful servant leaders.
Sixth graders take HighWay 101 through the Hebrew scriptures (the Old Testament) to get better acquainted with The Law, The Prophets and The Writings. Along the way they’ll visit the skills needed for understanding stress & time management, healthy friendships, sexuality, family systems, the stewardship of money, mentoring and leadership styles.
This web page is offered as a way for students to "digitally engage" with the curriculum. Students may:
Come here for assignments if they are out of school!
Come here for helpful links to study and research tools!
Come here for class news and needs.
So pack your bags, gas up the car, and fasten your seat belts! We're gonna hit the road!
