We are a community dedicated to the development of wholeness in our students through adherence to a curriculum of academic excellence which balances the ideals of the liberal arts tradition and sound professional preparation, within a Christian atmosphere of self-discipline, responsibility, and concern for continuing growth of the individual.

Our seven purposes are:

• To recognize the distinctiveness of each student.
• To encourage the development of creative and critical thinking.
• To provide a curriculum of academic excellence.
• To promote individual self-worth, self-direction, and wholeness.
• To promote in students a desire for lifelong learning and self-development.
• To impart knowledge of the world and promote the responsible engagement in it.
• To build character as exemplified by trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship, courage, and caring.
