About Us
Dedicated Educators
All of our teachers are certified in multiple fields, and the majority have been teaching for over 15 years. Our staff believes in creating an encouraging and positive learning environment to experience growth, not only academically but also in self esteem and confidence.
First-Rate Course Offerings
Our classes are small and our curriculum is built around the specific needs of the student. Our teachers are intuitive and highly trained to address the areas that may need reinforcement. We offer Educational Therapy through NILD (National Institute for Learning Development) and the Feurstein Method of mediation.
One on one tutoring and after school help is available.

We are a private, Christian school offering low student-teacher ratios, and tutoring to foster academic success in students from elementary to high school ages.
