School Mission Statement
The ministry of our Christian school is to lead young people to Christ and to turn them in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). With this in mind, we are committed to guiding children with a well-balanced education emphasizing character-building and leadership skills. We believe with the church, the school, and the home working together, we can strive to make “Today’s students tomorrow’s leaders.”
