We believe personal growth in the classroom, as well as student-related clubs, activities, and sports, serve a higher purpose in fostering meaningful relationships and creating individuals who are ready to lead in Christ’s image. The most important aspect is the students themselves - their growth, development, and values. This aligns with our faith-based mission and commitment to shaping leaders who will change the world.

It takes courage, strong character, and commitment to values to be a leader. This is the higher purpose our athletics, clubs, and activities serve, and it is crucial to invest in making it available to our students.

“My experience on the soccer team had its ups and downs, as we navigated the instability of COVID-19, but the relationships I had with my teammates kept me coming back. We grew really close to each other and I learned the importance of having strong relationships, even with those who think differently than me. I learned how to follow Christ amidst people with different values and beliefs than me and how to reflect Jesus to the people around me.”
