As a distinctly Christian school, the knowledge gained and skills acquired have their greatest meaning and impact in the service of Jesus Christ. Students are inspired to embrace their faith with full affection. Motivated by God's grace our students mature in wisdom, grow in their love, and find their identity in Christ. To be set apart for Christ is the surest path to flourish in one's life.
