Jesus is Present
Developing deep thinkers with a passion for Christ, exploration, and conversation.
Our junior high and high school students grow through rich discussions, interactive projects, and deep dives into content. They will study early American history, physics and chemistry, and will work individually to expand their math and language arts skills.
Our elementary students thrive in a project-based, literature-rich, and personalized environment. Our elementary students work on individualized programs for language arts and math and will also do a dive into early American History, while studying Astronomy!
We believe God created all children in His image with unique interests and gifts for His plan and purpose. We personalize instruction and develop those gifts with active learning and projects on Schoolhouse days, and individualized assignments for days at home. Your student will build friendships and become a vital part of a learning community.
We walk alongside you with insight, strategies, and support as you build your family relationships and culture. We partner with you to create a plan with goals for your unique child. We then guide you through the implementation of assignments on at-home days.
