Today, our school enjoys accreditation with both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia. Over the years, we have touched the lives of thousands of students, including many international scholars, through education grounded in a biblical worldview, academic excellence, and the formation of godly character.
Our juniors and seniors have the opportunity to take dual-credit courses through our partnership with local colleges, allowing them to earn college credit while completing their high school diploma.
Standardized testing helps our faculty meet each student’s academic needs, equipping them to perform at a high level and supporting successful admission to outstanding colleges and universities.
