The Creation Village Middle School Program
In Grades 6 through 10 of our private, international middle school in Central Florida, our mission is to fulfill each learner’s God-created identity by developing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people. At Creation Village Middle School, students engage in hands-on, inquiry-driven learning that builds independence, reflection, and ownership of their learning journey. Our program emphasizes the Approaches to Learning and the Learner Profile, key components of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) that guide our classrooms, events, and community life.
