School Notes

institution that provides a nurturing and faith-filled learning
environment to preschool, elementary, and secondary students.

- School should be both academically rigorous and fun. Our challenging curriculum, gifted teachers, and classroom atmosphere create a special space that inspires the transforming action of learning.
