- Our vision is to create life-long disciples of Jesus Christ who possess the faith, wisdom, and character necessary to fulfill God's will fortheirlives.
- Our school only operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We offer half-day and full-day preschool classes open to all families.
- Beginning in Kindergarten, we partner with Christian parents to ensure consistency of life and learning in our effort to effectivley disciple our students. Our Kindergarten is a 3 full-day program (T/W/Th). Our elementary classes operate using our unique "Covenant Learning Model" students have "direct" instruction from a classroom teacher on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, while the parent provides "guided" instruction at home on Mondays and Fridays based on the lesson plans sent home by the classroom teacher. This ia great hybrid between homeschooling and traditional 5-day school. For more information, check out our website.

My daughter loves going to preschool. This preschool is great, the teachers are very friendly and take the time to get to know each of the children. The facility is very clean, the classrooms are very age appropriate and fun for the students! I would recommend this preschool, also it is a Christian preschool, which is very important to me, for my child to learn about God at an early age.
