2024-2025 Faculty and Staff

We are a team of educators who are striving to “do school” differently.  We are lifelong learners, committed to professional growth and development, and we want to do what is best for students based on current academic research. We strive to see each child as a person made in God's image, and we try to do what is best for him or her while balancing the needs of the whole class. 

​

We are highly qualified for our roles. All K-8 teachers whole a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. Approximately half of our team also holds a Master's Degree. All of our teachers are certified or eligible for a teaching certificate and must maintain their teaching eligibility in their specific discipline.

​

Our faculty, staff, and volunteers are background checked with an FDLE Level 2 VECHS background check as well as checks for discipline against educator licenses and with the Bureau of Educator Certification. 

We want to honor our students’ families and the important role that parents must play in their child’s education.  We recognize that our students are whole people with full lives that extend outside of the school day, and we strive to help our students and their families achieve a balanced lifestyle.

We do all these things for the glory of God and out of true love for our Savior.
