Our goal is to provide opportunities for our students and to prepare them for life after high school.  Over 95% of our graduating classes attend the college of their choice.  Our preparation begins in kindergarten!

Class Sizes

We keep our class sizes small to maintain a good learning environment for our students. Our teachers provide a safe and loving learning environment for our students through defined classroom management and setting expectations early in the school year.

Our Curriculum

We use a variety of curriculum and resources in every subject area to provide the best possible education and meet the national standards requirements. We teach subjects through a Biblical world-view lens so students can learn to discern and become critical thinkers.

Advanced Support

We offer classes to meet the needs of students from extra support to advanced. Our staff is well trained to be able to assess the needs of each student and provide the help they need. At the high school, we offer dual credit and AP credit through our honors classes.

Elementary Curriculum

Technology, PE, art and music are included in our daily elementary curriculum. General music is offered through 3rd grade and 4th and 5th grade students choose band or choir for their music program. 

Electives

A variety of electives are offered in middle school so students can be exposed to many different opportunities to develop their talents.

Homework Expectations

We believe a strong work ethic is important for students because they will be more successful in college and later in their careers. We do require homework. However, homework is monitored, the amount of homework is reasonable and is meant to reinforce what the students are learning during the school day. Elementary and Middle School students are not assigned homework over the weekends. At the high school, students can expect approximately two hours of homework per night and have opportunities during the school day to begin homework.

Our elementary and middle school students test each year, K-8. We take a standardized test called the Terra Nova. This allows us to compare ourselves with national standards and with other schools across the United States.
