technologies, hands on projects and the Socratic Method for
discussions.We are open to Believers, Searchers and
Non-Believers alike and expose children to the importance of
mindful spirituality and stress the historical importance of
Christianity to the development of Western Civilization.
We believe each of our students will find a passion - something
they love and have a gift to do. They will use this gift to serve
others and fulfill a need they are passionate about in the world.

leads a family on a Hero's Journey; it may be becoming an
