We are a private Christian school dedicated to academic excellence from a Biblical worldview.  Our Pre-K classes focus on Kindergarten-readiness in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

Our mission is to support parents in raising young men and women that are able to reason, discern, and apply Truth as the Lord leads them to achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished by way of Scripture, the time-proven tools of classical education, small class sizes, and cultivating a family-like community.

* Communicating with parents to learn more about each child's life outside the classroom.
* Providing regular updates to parents.
