About Our Classes
We don’t just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career. We help them discover a field they’re passionate about and challenge them to dare to lead in that field. When God calls, he equips.
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29.11
World-Class Teachers
We find teachers who know the material like the back of their hands, love students, teach with excellence, and love Jesus.
