We believe that everyone needs a personal Savior because we have all been affected by the fall of man.  The first step towards living a life that honors and pleases the Lord is to believe in Christ as personal Savior.  We teach salvation by faith alone, and we regularly make the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ a part of the school day.  We highlight life in Christ after conversion, and we seek to inspire students to live all of life in a way that is faithful to the calling they have received in Christ.

We believe parents are primarily responsible for the raising up and training of their children.  We eagerly partner with parents by providing a loving, caring, and supportive educational environment.  We encourage parents to be highly involved in the school, and we seek to remain in close communication with all families.

We believe that each child has unique gifts and the potential to learn.  Following the leading and guiding of the teacher, students learn new concepts, truths, and skills.  Through attention, observation, and practice, students gain knowledge on which they can build and apply to life.

We believe Christian teachers lead their students into learning.  Teachers use many words, but they speak loudest as they model a love for the Lord, a love for learning, and a servant’s heart.  Effective teachers have thorough educational training and a clear gift of teaching.  They seek to draw every child into the learning process.  They see the potential and strengths of each child, and they demonstrate grace and patience, as they establish appropriate limits for the children.

We believe learning is an incremental process where new material is introduced, reinforced, and reviewed to help students achieve mastery.  Teachers start by connecting new concepts to previously learned material, and then, through clear, systematic steps, begin to introduce the new lesson.  Through practice and review students can attain higher levels of understanding.  After concepts have been thoroughly taught, teachers assess student knowledge and understanding.

We offer a liberal arts education, all taught from a distinctively Christian perspective.  We teach Bible as a core subject, and we seek to help students learn to love God as they know the stories and truths contained in God’s Word.  As we teach foundational skills in math, language arts, Latin, and Spanish and lessons on key events and concepts in science and social studies, we integrate biblical truths in every part of the curriculum.  We want students to develop a Christian worldview, seeing all of life from a Christian perspective.

We know that students also learn a great deal outside the classroom and apart from textbooks.  In art, music, and computer, students learn creativity as well as practical skills.  Through singing, dancing, and performing in drama, students become comfortable in front of others and understand the importance of working together as everyone faithfully does their part.  Through clubs and electives, students have the chance to utilize their gifts of leadership and service.  In physical education, students develop gross motor and group games skills.  In athletics, students develop the physical talents God has given them and learn to honor the Lord in the midst of competition. 

We realize that during the school day and year there will be a need for training and discipline.  We seek to provide love and limits.  Teachers love students by providing frequent encouragement and taking a personal interest in each student.  We establish limits because we love them, and we want them to experience the blessings of living within appropriate boundaries.  When students need correction, we seek to do this in grace, patience, and love.  And we hope that through the discipline process they will feel our care and become more aware of the forgiving grace of God.

We seek to help each student develop a vibrant faith and a strong walk with the Lord so they are ready to live for Christ when they finish their years here at school.  Ultimately, we desire that each student be academically and spiritually equipped for the future calling God has on his or her life.
