About Us
Now more than ever our community needs a Christ-centered, tuition-free school. With your help we can reach our goals.
WE BELIEVE
Children are best served through the gospel of Jesus Christ and a Biblical World View.
Our historical American values stem from the Biblical World View.
A rigorous academic foundation is key to a child’s future success. Therefore…
Christian education should be available to as many children as possible.
