Questions? Good.
Here are honest answers to the questions parents ask us most.
Getting started

Faith

Do parents need to sign the Statement of Faith?
We ask families to read it prayerfully and be comfortable with their children being taught from it. Read it here.
How is faith part of the day?
Daily devotion, Bible class, chapel and a biblical worldview in every subject.
Academics
What does “mastery-based” mean?
Students move to the next skill when they’ve mastered the current one, not just when a unit ends.
How do you handle different ages in one class?
Small groups by skill level, plus plenty of chances for older students to lead and younger ones to stretch.
Do you give grades?
Yes, we also use portfolios, mastery checks, and observations.
What if my child needs extra help?
Teachers provide small-group support and can refer families for evaluations or interventions.
Is it accredited?
Ask the office about current accreditation and transcript questions.

No uniform. We ask for modest, comfortable clothes kids can play and paint in.
What happens on snow days?
We text and email families by 6:30 am and post on social media.
