School Notes
- School Motto: To educate and equip the next generation to follow Jesus and uniquely serve in His kingdom.
- School Mascot: Warriors
- Our vision- "To educate and equip the next generation to follow Jesus and uniquely serve in His kingdom." Each child is uniquely gifted by God, and we want their education to include a rich understanding of their identity and purpose.
- We model for students what it means to live like Jesus and do what He did. We encourage their strengths,and support them in areas of academic weakness.
- Our classes are grouped by developmental levels: K-2 for early reading skills, 3-5 for reading to learn and developing independence in learning, and 6-8 for study skills, organization, and time management. Middle school students move between a teacher for ELA (English/Language Arts) and history and another teacher for math and science. All students are given opportunities for enrichment (including leadership and community service for middle school).
- Currently we have a staff of four highly qualified and caring teachers, and two aides who serve in the K-2 and 3-5 classrooms.
- We use Science of Reading research based practices for reading, and Barton/Orton-Gillingham for intervention.
- We share the property with Aldersgate United Methodist Church, who has given us exclusive access to a portion of their facility and property for school use.
