Elementary

Elementary students are given a firm foundation for education with a biblical worldview and an understanding of God’s plan and purpose woven throughout the curriculum.

Classroom curriculum includes phonics-based literacy, mathematics, science, history, and Bible. Students also have the opportunity to grow by participating in enrichment classes that include music, art, and physical education.

Elementary students meet weekly for age-appropriate chapel services with songs of worship followed by a Bible lesson. Students learn to apply Godly character traits to their own lives through relevant and exciting stories and activities.

Junior High

During the junior high years, from a physiological perspective, children go through a complete overhaul of their body and brain. With this knowledge, we desire to help students navigate these changes. Not only are they changing, but the world around them is also rapidly changing and students are dealing with very real issues. Consequently, we strive to meet spiritual needs such as acceptance, value, and belonging.

These students are provided with an academically challenging environment that recognizes that each student is wired uniquely with different strengths and abilities. The focus is on the reward of learning, encouraging students to give their personal best. Students are well prepared for the transition to high school at the completion of 8th grade.

High School

By employing teachers who care about your children and their success, we help them prepare for college both academically and through a deep connection with Christ. With our guidance, young adults develop a strong understanding of the Christian worldview. By creating an intense learning atmosphere, students are challenged but also loved, helping them grow as a person.

Our teachers are tasked with the challenge to not only pass on knowledge but to compel the students to understand and interact with it. Dates, facts, and terms are useful, but they become relevant when the students grapple with the broader picture of how, why, and what if. We believe that by equipping our students with critical thinking skills that they will not only become impassioned students but life-long learners.
