School Notes
- Providing academic excellence from a biblical worldview, we partner with families to equip the whole child for servant-leadership to impact the world for Christ.Core ValuesAs we work out this mission, our core values serve as guiding principles for how we interact with our students, staff, and families.
- FAITH: Developing and nurturing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is a bedrock of our school. Through regular scripture memory and devotions, chapel worship, and worldview training, each student receives a foundation to help them apply the gospel to their personal experience and develop confidence in sharing the good news with those they encounter."More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith" - Philippians 3:8-9
- EXCELLENCE: A commitment to excellence goes beyond strong academics. Our students learn to give their best in the academic setting while stretching themselves through musical and visual arts and athletics. We encourage each student to produce their best work and develop a value of lifelong learning."Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that it is from the Lord that you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve." - Colossians 3:23-24
- CHARACTER: Developing strong character and virtues in our students is a priority in each program we offer. From the sportsmanship learned in athletics to the courage developed in the arts to the discipline built in academic studies, our students are well-rounded and prepared to lead as they head to high school and beyond."But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." - Galatians 5:22-23
- LEADERSHIP: We develop strong leaders in our students, parents, and our staff. We believe that leadership results in influence and impact in our world, and our legacy depends on leaders with strong faith, character, and courage."But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant." - Luke 22:26
- RELATIONSHIP: Our relationships to God, to our family, and to each other define who we become. Student growth is encouraged through modeling and mentorship that equips students to build and maintain strong relationships. We also provide a variety of opportunities for parent involvement to encourage strong relationships within our families."Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins." - 1 Peter 4:8WISDOMWe believe that our ultimate source of wisdom is the Word of God. We encourage our students and staff to seek out this wisdom and to hide it in their hearts."The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."- Proverbs 1:7
- HUMBLE CONFIDENCE: We prepare students to move to high school and beyond by equipping them with confidence and helping them to develop a humble and teachable heart. Through academic projects, performing arts, and athletics, our students encounter regular opportunities to build confidence and courage in safe and loving environments. Students will draw on these foundational social skills as they face a lifetime of new situations."Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves"- Philippians 2:3
