Educational Philosophy:

It is very important to me that our children be given every opportunity to experience Christ in all aspects of their educaion.  Whether it is in the daily Math, Science or Dance lesson, each interaction that your child experiences should be guided by the Holy Spirit; as such it is my duty as the leader of the school to make sure that each teacher has the proper support and resources needed to accomplish our school's mission.  As stated in our school's mission statement, "Teaching the way of Jesus Christ" is our foundation upon which we continue to build.  Simply put, our staff is simply the vehicle by which He chooses to deliver His message.
