We aim to graduate young men and women who think clearly and listen carefully with discernment and understanding; who reason persuasively and articulate precisely; who are capable of evaluating their entire range of experience in light of the Scriptures; and who do so with eagerness and joyful submission to God. We desire them to recognize cultural influences as distinct from biblical, and to be unswayed towards evil by the former. We aim to find them well prepared in all situations, possessing both information and logical knowledge, and knowing how to use them to God’s glory. We desire them to be socially graceful and spiritually gracious; equipped with and understanding the tools of learning; desiring to grow in understanding, yet fully realizing the limitations and foolishness of the wisdom of this world. We desire that they have a heart for the lost and courage to dissuade those who are stumbling towards destruction; that they will always distinguish between real religion and religion in form only; and that they possess the former, knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ. And all these we desire them to possess with humility and gratitude to God.

We likewise aim to cultivate the same qualities in our staff. We desire that they be diligent and professional in their work, gifted in teaching, loving their students and their subjects. We desire that they clearly understand and employ classical education, that they use it diligently in their classroom, that they understand and value cross-curricular teaching, and they feel their work is fitting into the Godly whole. We desire that they have a lifelong desire to learn and grow and that they have opportunities to find refreshment and renewal. We desire that they coach and nurture new staff and become academic mentors to their students. We look to see them mature in Christ, grow in their knowledge of God, and that their children will walk in the Lord.

We aim to cultivate in our parents a sense of responsibility towards the School and the School community, to see them well-informed about our goals and approach, and to see them improve in parenting skills through the “Along the Virtuous Way” parenting program. We desire them to grow with the School ministry and to be involved and excited about the journey. Our aim is to help them follow biblical principles in their families, in addressing concerns with this ministry and with each other; that they would be inclined to listen to both sides of an issue before rendering a verdict, and embrace the Scripture’s injunctions to encourage and stir up one another to good works and love.
