high
quality,
distinctively
Christian
education
that
will
enable

premier
provider
of
spiritual,
academic
and

excellence,
preparing
our
community’s
youth
to

leaders

Academic
Philosophy:
The
most
important
part
of
educating
children
is
to
encourage
them
in
the
love
of
God,
His
Word,
and
the
development
of
Christian
character
and
values.
The
responsibility
for
educating
children
belongs
to
parents,
not
to
the
government,
the
church
or
any
other
institution.
Scholarships:
A
combined
$94,000
in
funding
in
