Our Approach to Faith and Academics

Our college-preparatory curriculum challenges students to think deeply and engage fully with what they’re learning. With an average class size of just 18 students, our teachers truly know their students. 
That relationship allows teachers to push students academically while also encouraging their personal and spiritual growth.

Because our teachers are committed Christians, faith isn’t something that happens only in Bible class. It’s woven into everyday learning. In science, literature, history, and beyond, our teachers help students think about how faith and knowledge connect. They welcome thoughtful questions and guide students as they wrestle with complex ideas through a biblical lens.
Our community also includes families and students from many different Christian denominations. That diversity creates meaningful conversations and helps students learn to listen, think critically, and grow in their own faith alongside others who share a commitment to Christ.
