What makes our standards unique
Our students are taught from a Biblical World View in all their academic subjects. We look to create lessons using best teaching practices while ensuring our students gain the skills and content knowledge they need at each grade level. One privilege a private school has is that we get to decide, using the state and federal standards as our guide, what will help our students experience the most success as a whole learner. We use a combination of learning styles to help our students be an active owner in their learning process. This creates deeper more relational learning that helps our students apply the skills and content they learn to their lives.
Why academic challenge is important
God has called us to work with our Hearts, Minds, and Souls in everything that we do. As we prepare our students to enter adulthood our hope is that they would be equipped as Christian Leaders in their colleges, workforce, and families. Our brains were designed to allow us to be curious learners. When our students are engaged in the academic process they grow to be lifelong learners.
We hold high expectations and then work with our students to achieve those expectations. Having high expectations is important in order to prepare our students for the next steps in life. Giving challenges to students and helping them to overcome those challenges helps students to face the obstacles they will face in the future. We provide the tools necessary for success.
We strive to teach the whole child
We value art, music, computers/technology, and more that is added to the existing core standards in math, english, science, and history. We enrich our curriculum with field trips, camps, and thought-provoking activities in the classrooms to provide our students with a more comprehensive education.
