OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe that a Christian school should be Christ-centered in all that it is, all that it does, and all that it conveys. We believe that a Christian school should educate and train the student to know and lovingly respond to God, deal creatively with life's challenges, and learn to love and serve others for now and in preparation for eternity.
