We take our mission seriously to "empower students to achieve their highest potential through Christ-centered educational excellence." Because all of us are made in the image of God, our learners have infinite worth and amazing hearts, minds, and abilities; they have potential to be, understand, and do far more than they imagine.
We empower them to see the world and themselves as they really are: beautiful and broken, glorious and messy; and we invite them to learn, grow, and ultimately participate in Christ`s work of restoring their humanity and the whole world.

honors God.
Understanding: We are committed to
achieving academic excellence through traditional and innovative
subjects of study, distinction in extracurricular activities, and
Biblical truth.
Relationships: We are committed to
developing meaningful relationships among students, staff, faculty,
parents, our community, and the world through learning (academic
activities), loving (spiritual activities), and serving (outreach
activities).
Our Mission Statement:We empower
students to achieve their highest potential through Christ-centered
educational excellence.
