School Notes
School Motto: Each person has to discern how we will give back to God what He has given to us -- not just a small portion of our lives but 100 percent.
Our pre-school program, three year old through five year old
kindergarten, provides a loving family oriented atmosphere where
our young students thrive and learn each day. The students
learn so much so quickly through the use of centers, manipulative
activities, and creative play. The classes are small, so each
child receives individual attention.
The students in first through eighth grade receive an excellent
education. Our students learn how to think critically and
logically, and how to work cooperatively in hands on activities. We
provide a challenging curriculum in all areas as well as enrichment
courses in choir, drama, track, computer, music, PE, art, and
library. Our science lab, computer lab, and library are
equipped with up to date equipment, computers, and
books.
Our students participate in the Builders Club, the Junior Beta
Club, and Scholars Bowl. When our students enterthe
area high schools, they are prepared for the advanced college prep
classes. Throughout the years, many of our graduates have
been valedictorians for the area high schools and have earned full
scholarships to in-state and out of state colleges, including
Harvard University.
Our well balanced academic program is directed toward
spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and moral growth so that our
students can make moral decisions and be of service to family,
church, community, and nation.
