The middle school (grades 6-8) is a bridge between the elementary and high school years. The program at HPBA endeavors to meet the unique opportunities of this special time in a student’s life. The strong educational program of the middle school includes core classes in English, history, science, and mathematics. Bible is taught four mornings a week and chapel is held on Friday. In addition students have classes in art, music, physical education, robotics, and computer application.

High Point’s secondary grades (6th-12th) run on a modified block schedule we call BLUE and GOLD days. According to the National Education Association, the benefits of a block schedule include:
• Students have more time for reflection and less information to process over the course of a school day.
• Research found students retain information longer.
• Teachers see fewer students during the day, giving them more time for individualized instruction.
This schedule also provides for a 30 minute “Help Period” where students who need to see a specific teacher can. It’s like office hours. Students make up work, they can get individualized guidance on assignments, they can do that evening’s homework, or, if they’re caught up with everything, they can relax and socialize, play games, or read.
