The school is governed by a board of elected parents from the school constituency. We are interdenominational in our makeup and an independent corporation.
Are you accredited?: We are not currently accredited. However we do have plans to seek accreditation through Association of Christian School International (ACSI).
Do you have classroom teachers?: Yes we have classroom teachers. Classes are much like you would find in any school atmosphere. Except for the Christian influence and Biblical standards.
Are your teachers certified?: Some teachers are certified but not all. We ask our teachers to seek certification through ACSI rather than the state. All are working on this process.
