Academic Formation

We seek a curriculum which meets the highest standards of accreditation and society, which prepares students for college and post-secondary pursuits, and which fully develops students’ skills for communication and critical thinking.

Spiritual Formation

We seek to give students a comprehensive understanding of the Christian faith, a respect for the value of the individual, and the experience of a faith community, lived out through liturgy, prayer, and service.
