Now enrolling for Kindergarten! With Christ-centered education, we not only strive to achieve academic excellence, but we also work to assist parents with the spiritual training of their children since it is critical that we work together as a team.

Our primary purpose and obligation is to develop in our students such Christ-like attitudes, habits, and skills which are necessary to train the heart, the head, and the hands to be a Christian example to all around him.

The child has certain basic needs: spiritual, physical, mental, social, emotional, and aesthetic.

These need to be satisfied so that the child can live as a free responsible being in Christ, seeking in all things the perfect praise and glory of the risen Lord.

When certain psychological conditions are recognized, such as individual differences, readiness, motivations, purposes and interests, meaning and repetition, the child can learn.
