Academic Information
Our goal in our academic program is to help each student become all that God created them to be. We believe the mind is a terrible thing to waste. As we develop our academic program, our desire is to take each child at their specific level and challenge them to use their specific talents to advance to the highest level possible.
We provide additional help in the form of Title I help in math and reading. We also provide special needs assistance in a variety of subjects.
Our academic program includes a strong emphasis in using technology to assist in advancing student learning. Wireless lap tops are used by all 5th-12th students and our computers are available in each classroom and in the media center. Our students use our computers for on-line courses that include many electives and receiving college credit in form of dual credit and PSEO classes.
Through excellence in our academic approach, we believe students will experience the following outcomes:
