with a passion for learning, for others ahead of self, and for the living and active
Jesus.

uniforms at all grade levels), and
Discretionary (extra-curricular
activities and equipment, Lower School after school care programs, and academic
tutoring services) fees are the responsibility of each family and are in addition
