My Day at TVS
Our Middle School uses a rotating four-day schedule. Each student has seven periods that consist of the four core classes and three electives. They attend six out of the seven classes daily.

Academics
Throughout the first half of the day, Middle-Schoolers engage in core classes, such as Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies.

Break; Chapel
Students have a brief refresh to break up their morning classes. Students converse with their peers, play games, and can ask teachers questions in this period.
On Wednesday this time is used for Chapel service. The entire Middle School gathers in the North Naples Church (NNC) Sanctuary to listen, sing, think spiritually, and pray.

Two days a week, Middle School students meet for an hour with their faculty advisor. Using a mix of both one-on-one and group guidance, they discuss how to thrive in school, time management and how to best apply TVS Christ Skills in everyday life.
