"We are almost doubling the STEMfocused learning space on our campus. Our students are getting state-of-the-art facilities with STEM classrooms, laboratories, and research resources. Imagine seeing a green roof come to life, studying marine ecosystems in a floating classroom and learning the benefits of solar panels – all at school!" – Jamie Dalton

ur success in realizing our mission of helping each student grow as Jesus did, centers us on people over programs, futures over facilities, and purposes that are greater than our own. Our STEM focus will accomplish much in our facilities, resources, and programs, but the greater gains will come through the meaningful learning and life shaping, accomplished through the relationships between our caring, dedicated educators and our amazing students. We are privileged and blessed to be able to develop and equip our students to launch into their next stages of life fully prepared and inspired to carry us into the future.
