The school is blessed to have a group of teachers who are enthusiastic about their subject matter, care deeply about each student, are committed to modeling Christ in their lives and are determined to learn and apply the Classical model of education in new and better ways each year. We consider our faculty to be our greatest strength, and many of our teachers have been on staff for most of the school’s existence. Through the care and nurturing of the students by our faculty, deep relationships are built and an overall sense of the school as a “family” is developed, which transcends any statistics on student/teacher ratios. Our teachers are able to mentor the students both in and out of the classroom.
