Each ripple flows into the next. Everything is influenced by the core values; they shape and are seen in everything that we do. We hope that the College is known by the expression of Faith, Hope and Love as demonstrated by a sense of Community, Service and Grace. When our students leave the College, we want them to be young people hallmarked by Humility, Integrity and Perseverance.
“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:13
Our mission, “Transforming lives through Christ and the wonder of learning”, sums up our commitment to making a difference in this world. Through the design and structuring of our learning programs and state of the art learning environments, we are well equipped to nurture and develop the unique talent, gifting and interests of students.
As a Christian learning community, we have over thirty five years of tradition educating our students to live out the timeless values of perseverance, humility and integrity; preparing them for meaningful and purposeful engagement in every area of their lives. The Bible informs our curriculum, our relationships and our practices. All of our staff are practicing Christians, applying their faith to their teaching and other work.
