As a Christian school, we have a commitment to our students that transcends that of other institutions. We believe that true education means more than just a sound academic preparation for life. We believe in the nurturing of the whole student, the harmonious development of the mental, the physical, the social, and the spiritual. To help us achieve this goal, we strive to create a climate which is loving yet firm, accepting yet challenging.

We request the support and prayers of parents, friends, and community members as we continue to work toward these goals. We are pledged to provide a Christ-centered, Bible-directed curriculum. We accept the Bible as God's written word. It is our objective to give it a prominent role in the educational experience provided.

We will provide an environment designed to stimulate a high level of scholarship and will help students learn habits of accuracy, thought, and responsibility.

The elementary school is administered by a local school board with the curriculum overseen by Dr. Larry Boughman, Education Superintendent, and Mrs. Pamela Williams, Associate Superintendent, from the Education office in Nashville, Tennessee. Several grades are incorporated into the same classroom -- older students get review built into each day, while younger students overhear the work of the other students, and are primed for the advanced classes. Field trips add interest and excitement to the curriculum.

The high school is part of a set of similar schools banded together through the modern technology of the internet.
