Senior High (9-12)

Welcome! We are excited for the opportunity to partner with families and students as they begin their journey into adulthood.

This is a time in life where students will begin to recognize and implement their God-given abilities in their daily lives. Our focus is to encourage these students to apply these gifts in a way that glorifies Christ and furthers his kingdom.

To help us achieve this goal, we strive to implement a biblically-immersed curriculum that is Christ-centered. We are also blessed to have highly invested staff that pours into each student and desires to see them achieve their God-given potential.

As we progress through the year, we welcome your partnership and desire to fulfill the wisdom shared in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way that they should go, so when they are older, they will not depart from it.”

With a Christ-centered culture and instruction from a biblical worldview, we hope to see your students grow in their faith.

May God bless you!
