HIGH SCHOOL curriculum includes a Community Outreach program where students will engage with the world outside of the classroom. This is also known as seeing Real Life and being part of making the world a better place.

  • Family and community life
  • The healthy unfolding of childhood
  • Joy in the learning process
  • An education focused on wholeness in body, soul, and spirit
  • Intellectual excellence, imagination, strong memory and problem-solving skills
