Description: The hallmarks of this 50-year-old institution are its Biblical integration, character training, and parental involvement. In fact, parents don’t just bake cookies for the booster club; they sign a form promising to be active in their child’s academic and spiritual upbringing. Advanced placement classes in English and math provide college credit. The 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio helps turn out quality students, and the Discover Program caters to students with learning disabilities. The emphasis is on academic competence as well as compassion.
