FOCUSING on Christ

The centrality of Christ is essential to our work. Besides chapels and Bible classes and daily prayer, our faculty teach each class from a Biblical perspective … from art, to strength training, to history. From coaches to club leaders to librarians – our staff will share the saving grace of Christ with your student. Every class. Every club. Every sport. Every day.
DEVELOPING Gifts and Talents

Our students have an array of opportunities to choose from – Robotics, Football, Cheerleading, Praise Band, Scholastic Bowl, Ceramics, and Track and Cross Country among many others. A well-rounded school experience is essential for your student. These experiences lead to deepened friendships, improved academic performance, development of leadership skills, and enhanced self-esteem.
CELEBRATING Diversity

With families from over 75 Chicagoland communities and 120 churches, our community is diverse. With our differences – whether skin color or Christian denomination – we learn from one another. We celebrate what we have in common. We strive to understand our differences. We persist together. We grow together. We need you. We are stronger together.
CREATING a Lasting Impact

From planting trees, to helping a classmate better understand a concept, to giving a passionate speech on ending human trafficking – we encourage our students to take a stand, think deeply, love through action, and make a lasting impact on God’s kingdom. Check out our Featured Alumni to see our graduates making an impact.
INVESTING in Students

Our committed faculty invest in our students every day. Our teachers are one of our greatest strengths! Our teachers will know your student by name; they will know their strengths, their struggles, and most importantly, their potential.
TRANSFORMING Students

Our students own their learning experience. With teacher guidance, students identify their academic goals, reflect on their progress, and stretch their capabilities. Your student will be primed to lead discussions, ask tough questions, and investigate outcomes.
