Middle School
Savannah Legacy Academy’s middle school program combines strong academics, character development, and hands-on learning to prepare students for high school and beyond.
Students follow the Abeka curriculum, a rigorous, Christian-based, college-preparatory program that builds a solid foundation in core subjects: Math, Language Arts, Science, History, and Bible.
Our middle school experience is enriched with unique programs including a comprehensive Golf Curriculum, where students study Golf Physics, History, Operations, and Journaling—developing discipline, focus, and physical wellness.
Through our partnership with the Civil Air Patrol’s Cadet Program (CAPS), students gain exposure to aerospace education, Air Force values, and leadership training through hands-on simulations and STEM challenges. We also integrate Aerospace Learning and Financial Literacy into the curriculum, helping students explore aviation and space science while gaining essential life skills such as budgeting, saving, and responsible decision-making.
At SLA, middle schoolers grow into confident, well-rounded students equipped with academic excellence, leadership tools, and real-world readiness.
