“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”- Psalm 145:18

In a world filled with worldly distractions, it is easy to forget why we are here in the first place. As Christians, we are called to pray and call onto God for guidance and trust. We are meant to connect with our community in a way that honors God. He is the keeper of all things and the bearer of our deepest thoughts and struggles (Psalm 121:5). He invites us to cast our worries unto Him (1 Peter 5:7).

At first glance, studying a second language might seem like just another academic subject. In actuality, language learning lifts students beyond their immediate surroundings and helps them see the world — and people — through a biblical worldview. In an academic setting, American Sign Language (ASL) is a valuable addition to the class offerings for students of all ages.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

You have laid the foundation but the journey is just beginning for your graduate. From their beginnings, you have continuously covered them in prayer with a watchful eye.

Bullying is a pervasive issue affecting millions worldwide. It’s a problem that transcends age, gender, and social status. While it manifests in various forms, the core elements of bullying remain consistent: the intentional infliction of harm - often through physical, verbal, or psychological means - on an individual who feels powerless to defend themselves. As Christians, it’s up to us to lead the charge on shaping a more compassionate and loving society to help prevent and stop bullying. 

“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

—1 Thessalonians 5:18

Happy Thanksgiving! This is truly one of the best times of the year. There’s so much to love and appreciate - the fantastic weather, football, and, of course, the food and family. So, where are you when it comes to being thankful? How can we make the most of this season and model an “attitude of gratitude” to those around us?

As a continuation of the "Campaign for CommUNITY",  Head of High School and Assistant Head of School Tawanna Rusk shares her thoughts on how to best #LoveOneAnother — the theme for this school year.

You’re a great parent. Just skim through your Facebook mobile uploads and an array of magical memories (pumpkin patch, summer vacations, special outings) will reveal your parenting prowess. You love your kids—which is why you coach them, teach them, play with them, and pray for them.

It’s also why you’ve likely thoughtfully weighed where your children will attend school. After all, children will spend more waking hours at school than at home between the ages of 5 and 18. That’s a big deal.
