school childOakland County is Michigan's second-most populous county. The frenzied pace of the city slows after you leave northeastern Detroit, and the scenery provides a respite for those looking for a more tranquil atmosphere. 

Novi and southwestern Oakland County have a lot to offer families that want to live in tranquility, but still want to be close to the city. The following are only a handful of the factors that attract people to the area:

  • A more leisurely pace of life
  • The larger cities of Detroit and Ann Arbor are in close proximity
  • Our area is within a short drive of the region are state and local parks
  • Small businesses and enterprises that produce excellent products and services
  • Pleasant neighbors and friendly people

While we are fortunate to have strong public schools in Oakland and Wayne counties, there are many reasons parents search for alternatives for their sixth through eighth-graders. 

For excellent upper school education, you need to consider enrolling in a high-quality Christian private school like St. Paul Lutheran School in Northville, MI.

Upper School Education for Sixth Through Eighth Graders in Northville, MI

One of the key advantages to choosing a private Christian school for upper grades (6th-8th grade) is the confidence parents have that their children will receive excellent spiritual and academic education. 

How St. Paul Lutheran School Helps Students Grow Spiritually 

At St. Paul Lutheran School, the Christian religion is the cornerstone of all instruction. Each class begins with a brief meditation and then proceeds on to Christian teaching and Bible study, in keeping with the school's objective to help children achieve their full potential as God's creation. 

In the higher grades, we add a systematic study of Christian doctrine, as outlined in Luther’s Small Catechism. This helps students begin to embrace doctrine and theology. 

How St. Paul Lutheran School Helps Students Grow Academically

Reading, spelling, handwriting, English, literature, mathematics, social studies (geography, civics, history, and so on), science, computer education, fine arts (music, art, and so on), physical education, and health are all taught with excellence here at St. Paul. Modern instructional methods and materials, such as films, videos, and other audio-visual aids, are employed to offer our students the best educational experiences possible. 

With small class sizes (less than twenty students per classroom), our teachers are able to provide an extra level of attention to students to help ensure everyone is able to grasp and master each subject. 

The support students receive from the Christ-centered community here at St. Paul helps students grow into the people God created them to be.
