We believe education is more than passing tests and is, instead, an opportunity for children to become prepared for a life of Christian discipleship. Through the generosity of people like you, this approach aims to change the world of education. We invite you to prayerfully consider the best way for your family to financially support this adventure. Let’s grow.
— Let's Grow
Six years ago we opened our doors to a whole new world of education. Today, we have evidence of growth in ways we never could have imagined and yet the future is full of possibilities beyond our wildest dreams. Our biggest dream yet is to grow onto a new nature campus. The number to realize this is $7.7 million. We need partners like you to come alongside us. Let's keep growing.
