Academic Rigor Well-Prepared for College Preparing students for college begins with meeting students where they are and administering a rigorous curriculum that not only teaches necessary academic skills, but also develops time-management skills, resiliency, and the ability to balance competing priorities, which are critical life skills. While pursuing academic excellence and developing independent study skills, students explore areas of interest for further study or for professional work and learn how to collaborate together within an interdependent learning community. Well Prepared for Life Preparing students for life begins with recognizing each student as a blessing of infinite worth in God’s eyes and creating an environment where each student is known by faculty and staff just as each student is known and loved by God. In helping students discern their life’s journey as a child of God, created in His image, we equip them to make virtuous decisions and to generously use their gifts and talents in service of God and neighbor throughout their life.
