Our mission is to help children discover and fulfill their God-given purpose for living.
We are focused on giving individual attention to each child, getting to know their personality and learning style so that we can help prepare them well for the future.
We are a school, so we have a very intentional focus on academics, but their spiritual development is also a key priority.
Our goal is to nurture their souls with a loving, Christian environment in which we teach foundational truths about our heavenly Father.
In addition, we focus on their physical development. Each class has age-appropriate physical education and fun extra-curricular activities designed to help them develop their motor skills as well as their social skills.
