We want students who are ready to fulfill their callings in this life and to be prepared for Heaven. We want students who don’t just choose a career based on income and status, but because that is what God is calling them to in order to use their gifts to glorify His name.

God desires men and women of God in every discipline to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

All schools hope to produce students that have competent cognition so they can be productive members of society. As Christian school educators, we are not just seeking to help our students live well on this earthly home, but also prepare them to live in a heavenly home by loving and trusting Christ. We also must prepare them to live for Christ and draw others to Him while here on earth.

To prepare the students for life on this world and also for eternity. To prepare students competent cognitively, but also to fulfill God’s purpose for them as long as they are on this world. For them to make a difference in the world and the people in their lives. To help them prepare the next generation as well for the same purposes.
