Secondary School

Secondary School comprehends 7th through 12th grade. Students are motivated to grow in academic excellence by fostering an environment where they are challenged to reason and critically think through the different subject matters.

We believe in forming global citizens, which is why students are introduced to Mandarin and/or French in secondary school. Furthermore, leadership skills are developed and enhanced through the different activities that are carried out. Students are motivated to commit to Christ and His Word by cultivating a personal relationship with Him and by helping others to know Him as well.
