Core Values

  • Biblical Foundation... God's Word is our ultimate authority and the basis for all learning. A biblical worldview will be integrated throughout the curriculum along with specific Bible instruction.

  • Discipleship... Our goal is to develop strong Christians, not just good citizens. We are not simply teaching information, but imparting godly wisdom and nurturing student relationships with Christ.

  • Academic Excellence... All that we do should be done as if for the Lord Himself, including teaching and learning. We will model and expect diligence and professionalism from staff and students.

  • Application... Learning is meant to be lived. Students will be given ample opportunity to put their education into practice, both in the classroom and in the community.

  • Calling & Equipping... We believe that God uniquely calls each of His children to their place in His special plans. Furthermore, as He calls, He also equips each of us with natural and spiritual gifts to be used for His glory. Our desire is to help each student discover their calling and realize their equipping.
