Middle School (Grades 4-8)

Middle school is a time of transition. As a middle school teacher, you will help these "in-between" students begin to discover who they are in a safe place, while preparing them for academic and emotional success in high school.

The middle school teaching program prepares you to teach one of these subjects in grades 4-8:

• English Language Arts and Reading
• Science
• Social Studies

Each of these degrees culminates in your taking the TeXeS state exam for certification in teaching grades 4-8. For more information on this certification, or for questions concerning transfer credit, AP credit or CLEP credit, contact Francille Vesel, degree plan specialist, at veself@acu.edu or (325) 674-2128.
