Foundational Goal: Academics
We believe learning is a gift from God and should be pursued with excellence. Our goal is to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and wisdom they need to think critically, steward their abilities, and use their education to impact the world for Christ.
Students Will Be Thinkers Who:
- Read, write, speak, listen and demonstrate appropriate language and communication skills in diverse academic and social situations.
- Are proficient in mathematics, science, and problem solving
- Appreciate literature and the arts and understand how they express and shape their beliefs and values.
- Have knowledge and understanding of people, events, and movements in history (including church history) and the cultures of other people groups and places.
- Value intellectual inquiry and are engaged in the marketplace of ideas (open, honest exchange of ideas).
