Unity

Koinonia is derived from a Greek word meaning communion or joint participation. The middle school at the Master's Academy has implemented this idea of joint participation by created koinonias that group students together into teams. This year the koinonias theme are superheroes. Various teams include: green arrow, spiderman, batman, hulk, wolverine, etc. 



These teams then compete against each other in activities to earn points that go toward their team winning. In order to win, the students within these koinonias have to work together to achieve victory which is the key factor behind the creation of the koinonias at the masters academy. 

The koinonias at the masters academy are designed to encourage unity and teamwork within each koininia by creating a competitive environment that students want to win in, and because of this will work with other students in their group to beat the other teams and win points for their teams. 

These koinonias meet every Wednesday to bond together as a team and discuss the goals of their team for the year. In so doing this, the students become closer together as a team and as a class. Koinonias have been a great addition to the masters academy middle school, and has been successful every year in developing students team work, unity, and leadership skills. As a result, students will go into high school with skills that better equip them for the coming years.
