Junior High School

In junior high school, students are exposed to an increasingly mature environment. Projects, field trips, research, hands-on and fun-filled activities are still a major part of the academic program, but are coupled with lecture and discussion on a more sophisticated level. Students in the junior high school find themselves with more individual responsibility. The junior high program is designed to meet the needs of the students both academically and socially, as social needs are increasingly important at this time of life. Students in the junior high school are transitioned from the combination classrooms of the elementary program into the departmentalized program of the junior high where students have several teachers and switch classrooms. Some subjects will be taught to the 7th & 8th grades in combination, while others will be taught to each grade individually. Each junior high student’s coursework includes four academic subjects, one elective subject, physical education and Bible study. Junior high is a time of preparation for high school of growth and of fun!

In addition to academics, junior high school students may broaden their interests through involvement in student government and community service. Centers of Learning has a small intramural sports program and students are encouraged to participate in available local community sports programs.

Centers of Learning's private junior high school has been serving the San Fernando Valley and communities of North Hills, Northridge, Mission Hills, and Granada Hills since 1974.

Eighth Grade Promotion:

Promotion from Centers of Learning’s eighth grade into the high school requires that students be in good academic standing. Students must carry a “C” average in junior high to be considered for the high school program.
