Our school recently completed a national survey of Christian schools, with 100% of our families participating. Our parents are happier with us than parents at 94% of the other 950+ Christian schools which have used the survey.
We are humbled and honored by their response.
Read below to see some of the many reasons why parents here are so pleased with their children's education –– and how your child can benefit from joining our school.
Academic progress and physical well-being are easier to track, but spiritual growth is more difficult to measure—yet it remains at the heart of everything we do.
It begins with teachers and staff who deeply love Jesus and are committed to sharing His love with students and their families. Each day includes classroom worship, and each week, we gather for chapel. Our Bible classes are designed to help students build a personal relationship with Jesus and develop a strong Biblical worldview. We also provide opportunities for students to live out their faith through acts of service—at school, in their churches, and throughout the community.
By keeping Christ at the center, we see our students not only grow spiritually, but also thrive academically, reaching their full potential in every area.
Our philosophy is summed up in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (ESV)
As Protestant Christians, we believe God is the all-wise, all-knowing, all-powerful, loving Creator of the universe, the world and us. As our Creator, He knows what is best for us and what type of lives will make us happiest. As our Father, we wants each of us to live our best lives and live with Him forever. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, not only to save us from our sins, but to show us who God is and invite us into personal relationships with Him. It is through that relationship and the guidance of God the Holy Spirit that we can know God better and be changed to be more like Him, with characters of love, fairness and mercy.
As a Christian school, our primary goal is not only to teach students knowledge but to help them develop their own, personal relationship with Jesus. It is through that relationship that they can grow in Christian character and loving service.
Our school uses standardized testing, MAP, to track each child's progress.
When our student continue on to high school and college, they come back and tell us how well prepared they were for those next academic challenges.
We believe that learning happens best when it is reinforced by life experiences in the real world. So we integrate field trips into all levels of our program
With class sizes kept under 16 students and a school structure that goes only up to 8th grade, every student has the chance to play an active and meaningful role in school life. This environment encourages participation, responsibility and leadership across all grades.
Our sports program and annual musical theater productions are another way our junior high students can practice leadership skills such as teamwork, goal setting, speaking and singing in front of an audience, and organizing their peers.
In addition, we proactively create opportunities for leadership through our Study Buddy system that pairs older students with younger ones. This gives the upper-grade students the chance to guide, support and mentor their younger peers. Through these relationships, students develop a heart for service and grow as confident, compassionate leaders.
We put a strong focus on student character development. We strive to teach key moral values such as kindness, honesty, modesty, respectfulness, personal accountability, a strong work ethic, compassion, humility and faithfulness. We strongly believe that upholding these time-tested values prepares students to be solid leaders in their work and community, and who brightly reflect a Christ-like character.
As part of this focus, we cultivate a culture of kindness that creates a safe, supportive and inclusive environment for students. Students are encouraged to emulate Christ’s love by showing compassion, grace, mercy, understanding, patience and selflessness.
