Christian Education is more than quality academics. The curriculum is built on a
theistic philosophic foundation. Students learn to see life from God's point of
view. Their personal relationship with God and their personal responsibilities
to family, church, and community are of primary concern.

We are undenominational and have no central headquarters or president.
The head of the church is none other than Jesus Christ himself
(Ephesians 1:22-23). Each congregation of the churches of Christ
is autonomous, and it is the Word of God that unites us into One Faith
(Ephesians 4:3-6). We follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his holy
Apostles, and not the teachings of man. We are Christians only!
