See What We Offer

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Why should you choose one of ours? We have a rich background of highly successful schools dating back to the 1850’s. We seek to achieve high academic standards, enrich young lives with fine arts programs, and above all, share God’s love with the world.

Our schools successfully serve thousands of children across the US each year. Recent standardized test results demonstrate excellence in reading, language, math, science, and social studies. A study also found that the longer students attend our schools, the better they do in outperforming the nation in basic skills areas.

Read on to find out more about what our schools offer.

Quality Education

In Mark 10:14, Jesus clearly tells us, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to them.”

Educating Mind, Soul, and Body

We serve parents who are eager to follow the command of Jesus, who said, “Feed My lambs.” Our caring and dedicated teachers recognize all children as gifts of God and care for their academic, emotional, physical, and (most importantly) spiritual welfare.

Academic Achievements

Our academic goal is to teach each and every child to become more skilled in using language and understanding the concepts of math, science, social studies, art, and music. We stress these areas:

  • The ability to memorize, organize, and communicate
  • Critical thinking skills
  • Effective verbal, non-verbal, and written skills
  • An appreciation for the arts
  • An understanding of current technologies and the ability to apply them

Christian Citizenship

Certainly, our schools will give your children the best education possible. We want them to be worthy and successful citizens while on this earth. But more importantly, we’re preparing them for their eternal citizenship in heaven through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This should be the primary goal of all of us! We focus on:

  • Demonstrating Christian love, service, and witness
  • Ability to interact with others in a God-pleasing manner
  • Ability to make choices based on scriptural principles and values
  • A strong desire to continue growing in God’s Word
  • An ability to recognize God-given talents and use them to His glory

Many of our schools offer quality child care before, during, and after the school day. These facilities assist the parents in bringing up their children “in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4) in a warm, nurturing environment, under the guidance of a well-trained staff.
