- Principal reviews file and have an appointment scheduled (within 3 days) with Preschool parents and Admissions Committee before admission is finalized.

The educational approach is founded on biblical principles that address the nature of the learner and learning, the nature of truth and authority, and what is important to learn and know. “Today’s students need to be taught the accumulated wisdom of the past from a biblical worldview so they will have a firm foundation from which to evaluate the present and make proper decisions for the future.”
