Our teachers form students to pursue truth and grow in character by instilling a strong commitment to faith, community, and love of neighbor. The magnificent architecture, scenery, enthusiastic teachers and small class sizes inspire curiosity in our students and faculty that can be noticed throughout campus.
Culture
We believe that student culture is primarily a reflection of the culture of the adults on campus. Therefore, we take seriously the responsibility to serve as witnesses of the Christian gospel, modeling faith, hope, and charity in all that we do as faculty and colleagues. John 13:35 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 are our standards for every interaction we have, whether public or private. We believe that health and vitality in our collegial work will lead to health and vitality among our students.
