Student Life

Students outside

We love having our Eagles back on campus! We can't wait to see how the Lord works in the hearts of our students and staff this year as we focus on virtue formation to educate for eternity. Please pray for our students and staff as our MS/HS students travel for their Class Experiences this week.

Student Life

Humilitas Theme

Students will be learning all about our theme for the year: Humility (Humilitas in Latin) and Philippians 2:3-4 (ESV), which says, “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
