Mission Statement
Established in 2004, we were founded on the belief that all wisdom and knowledge comes from God. It is our belief that children need spiritual, physical, and academic development to become well-rounded individuals in the world God has created for them. We believe that children are a gift from God and should be carefully nurtured in His Word. It is our intention to teach our students the Word of God as well as the necessary academic skill that they will need throughout their lives. Positions in our school are filled by individuals who are dedicated Christians serving the Lord within their church.
Classes
Our classes range from a 3 year old program all the way through 8th grade. Our school uses the A Beka curriculum out of Pensacola, Florida. The students begin their day with Bible class, followed by the traditional subjects of mathematics, language arts, literature, social studies, science, and health. All of the classes, however, are approached and taught from a Christian perspective. For more information about the A Beka curriculum, you can visit www.abeka.com.
