Our faculty and staff are the foundation of our school's success. All are dedicated Christians who value children and the need for them to be educated in a Godly manner. Because of our small size, there is a high level of interaction between the faculty and staff, and both faculty and staff take an active role in the educational, spiritual, and character development of each and every student. |
