Our Mission:

To fulfill God’s mandate to educate and train our students.

The Bible gives clear instruction that children are to be taught of the Lord and receive their education in a Christ-centered environment. It is the plan of God that parents place their children in an educational system where God is the beginning of all knowledge and wisdom.

• Proverbs 1:7 (Amplified) “The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principle and choice part of knowledge, it is the starting point.”
• Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (Amplified) “And these words which I am commanding you this day, shall be in your own mind and heart, you shall whet and sharpen them so as to make them penetrate, and teach and impress them diligently upon the minds and hearts of your children.”
• Deuteronomy 11:18-19 (Amplified) “Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your mind and heart and in your entire being…and you shall teach them to your children.”
• Psalm 78:5-6 (Amplified) “For He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, commanding our fathers that they should make [the great facts of God’s dealings with for all] known to their children; that the next generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children.”
• Isaiah 54:13 (Amplified) “And all your children shall be disciples, taught of the Lord and obedient to His will; and great shall be the peace and undisturbed composure of your children.”
• Colossians 2:8 (Amplified) “See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit, following human tradition, men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world (humanism) just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe, and disregarding the teachings of Christ.”
