Learning begins in awe. The innate curiosity of the young child provides fertile ground for the early seeds of knowledge. However, wonder must not die as the child grows but become a life-long characteristic of all of us - students, teachers, and parents alike - as we marvel at God and His creation. (Psalm 8, Matthew 6:26-30)

Academic achievement is not an end in itself but serves the path to cultivating wisdom, the ability to discern truth and apply it to our particular place and time. We pursue academic excellence and seek to develop students who are equipped to excel in their future careers. But even more importantly we strive together by the grace of God to shape men and women marked by wisdom. (Proverbs 1:1-7, 3:7 Philippians 4:11-12)

Learning is good work. Parents, teachers, and administrators co-labor in the calling of educating young minds. Our students join in that work as learners. Together we aim to glorify God in the good works He has prepared for us to do together. While work is a necessity and at times painful in a sinful world, work is itself not a curse but rather a gift from God that He intends for our good and the service of others. This reality informs the way we approach all work, paid and unpaid, private and public. (Exodus 20:8-11, Ephesians 2:8-10, Mark 10:45, 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12)
