Our fully-accredited K-12 school is geared at "discipling students through faith, character and academic excellence, to become Christlike leaders in their communities and the world.' Our staff is amazing, and we have a great admin team. Student achievement is our focus as we strive to emulate our core values as listed in the F.A.I.T.H.U.P. acrostic: Fellowship with God through Jesus Christ; Academic Excellence; Integrity of Heart; Hope for the Nations; Unity in Christ; Perseverance. Our facilities are in need of repair; however, we are in a transitioning phase to build on our 26 acres by Old Nassauville Road.
