“I am much afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth.  I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount.  Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.”  Martin Luther  

As history unfolds, these words from this great reformer are graphically seen.  Millions have lived lives, and are living lives, blessed by strong reliance upon the Lord and His Word; AND billions have missed out, and are missing out, living lives where God and His Word are not central in all of life. 

In 2008, may we be among the millions who have been blessed because we are educating ourselves to seek the Lord with our entire heart, soul, and mind - learning to be more God-centered, and in that process, assisting others in their knowledge of the Lord and His ways of blessing.

Our mission statement put into bulleted form:

·    Educating students

·    from a Biblical world view,

·    equipping them to live

·      a lifestyle that honors God.
