We seek to provide an environment that engages the mind-and the heart-of every student.
Our programs are established on the fact that God`s word is the standard of truth-guiding our school`s focus, purpose, and direction.
Our Christian culture and education standpoint is simply an extension of what is taught first by parents in the home and through the local church.
