Academic learning, creative work and practical exploration in a Christian school setting.

Classroom discussion

School introduction

This Christian high school serves grades 9–12 and combines academic study with faith-based education, collaborative learning and practical work.

Sports, the arts and student activities complement classroom learning. An international host-family program is available as a housing route, subject to individual arrangements. Semester applicants need confirmation of grade placement, course fit and accommodation. Religious studies form part of the curriculum, and families should consider whether this faith-based environment suits them.

Curriculum

Science and engineering emphasize experimentation, modeling and problem-solving. Grade 9 general science introduces chemistry, physics and engineering. Engineering design uses individual and team projects to develop 3D design, technical documentation and peer-review skills, applying mathematics and science to design tasks. Course selection depends on grade level and prerequisites.

The 2026–27 curriculum includes algebra, geometry, biology and chemistry, alongside options such as introductory engineering design and studio-based art. Courses have grade and prerequisite requirements: biology is intended for grade 10, chemistry for grades 11–12, and introductory engineering design for grades 10–12.

Arts and school life

Art studies include work from different cultures, studio practice and ceramics, alongside choir and band. After-school theater offers opportunities to perform. Some ensembles and productions require auditions or demonstrated skills. Collaboration, communication and self-advocacy complement academic learning and creative interests.
