Preparing for College and Beyond

High School offers students an environment in which they are challenged to think critically, use higher-order thinking skills and engage with curriculum that will prepare them to be successful in their college careers and beyond. They cultivate lasting relationships with faculty and staff, who are purposeful in seeking to help students discover and identify their gifts and talents in relation to academics, the arts, athletics and leadership/service opportunities. Most importantly, the faculty and staff seek to help students understand their identity in Christ and how to grow into faithful disciples of Him.
