Core Values

  1. Academic Excellence that is Christ-focused 
    Students are offered a Biblically-based, excellent academic program that will prepare them for high school and life-long learning. Staff members have a committed relationship to Christ and are highly qualified to teach. All academics are taught from a Biblical perspective and give God the glory for His blessings to our school. 

    "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Colossians 3:17
     
  2. Called to Service 
    Students are taught the importance of serving others. Christ is our ultimate model of service and love in our relationships. Servant leadership is an important part of the ministry of our school, and students will learn about and be given the opportunity to live in service to God, so that they may positively impact their community and the world for Jesus Christ. 

    “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10
     
  3. Spiritually Equipped 
    Students study theology and the gospel to better understand God’s word. Our initial desire is to see them come to a saving knowledge of Christ as Savior. Through discipleship, they'll have the tools necessary to discern the world through a Bible-based, Christian worldview, and they'll be equipped to exhibit Christ-like character — glorifying God in all they do. 

    “So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” Colossians 2:6-7
