We commit to equipping each student spiritually, academically, socially, and civically, preparing them to live purposeful lives that honor God. We uphold a traditional model of education with a strong commitment to excellence in all areas.

Our Core Values
Biblical Foundation
Teachers share the truth of God’s Word not only through stories, songs, and verses in each morning’s Bible class, but also through every class taught from a biblical perspective.
With character-building content that reinforces Christian values and ethics, we place emphasis on developing the person that each student is growing to be.
Challenging Curriculum
We believe in a traditional, academic curriculum that focuses on Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Students will be using the Abeka curriculum for all subjects. We believe that all K5 students can be readers by the end of their first year of school! Every lesson is taught from a biblical worldview.
Teachers are willing to provide individual attention for students needing extra help and ensure each understands the subject matter.
Teamwork with Parents
We partner with families to introduce God’s plan and teach Jesus’ love while also equipping students to know the truth from God's Word.
We consider it a privilege for parents to allow us to teach their children. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their child's education.
