Approach

Vision

Prepare and equip students as restorers of God’s creation.

Mission

Ensure students create the connection between content knowledge (knowing), professional application (doing) and the integration of faith (being) through real work that restores communities for Jesus.

For Teachers

The heart of every Business and Communications teacher is centered around the desire to see our student's grow. To ensure this is accomplished, we focus on the 3Rs of teaching.

Relationships

People are made in the image of the triune God. The creator of all things is sustained by relationship and we as his creation are intended to live as individuals in community both professionally and personally.

Rigor

At the cross-section of autonomy and developmentally appropriate cognitive complexity is the sweet spot where mastery can be found. Fundamental to this is the integration of the head, heart, and hands.

Restoration

All that was Created is good. Sin has subjected everything to the Fall. Christ alone has brought Redemption. We now eagerly work as God's vehicles to Restore creation through our entrepreneurial efforts.
