Guiding Principles

• We believe each child is a gift of God, wholly unique with God-given talents and spiritual gifts that we can help parent and child identify and utilize.
• We will "partner with parents" to educate their children as "our children", so they develop totally (intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, socially, and physically).
• We are committed to providing academic excellence and quality instruction with low student/teacher ratios that maximize learning.
• We will integrate Christ into all school activities, so each child "grows in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (2 Peter 3:18)

We offer a well-balanced traditional education designed to meet each child's social, intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual needs in a loving, caring atmosphere.  Our students attend chapel once per week and also start each morning with devotions and prayer.  Each student is also tested yearly using the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, standardized achievement test.
