About Us
We exist as an extension of Christian families in the biblical command to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The love of Christ compels us to teach God’s truth with intentionality, bridling the power of knowledge with humility and discipline in light of Christ’s total authority. To that end, our school provides a distinctively Christian education, employing challenging classical methodology and content. We work in concert with parents and the church to cultivate joyful young people whose lives reflect the truth in love. Our aim is that students live faithful Christian lives, equipped to lead and transform culture through the gospel to the glory of God. The greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind and with all our strength. And the second is like it, to love our neighbors as ourselves. (Mark 12:30-31) Education either directs us toward or distracts us from these commandments. By God’s grace, we seek to train students to fulfill this calling by equipping them with an education that is Christian, classical, holistic, challenging, joyful, and transformational.
