High School: Developing Christ-like Leaders. Equipping for Life. Educating for Eternity.

The high school program at Faith is designed to encourage and equip students to pursue further education upon graduation. Whether to a four-year program, Bible college, or technical school, students are encouraged to think about their future and how their high school experience will best equip them to succeed for God’s glory.

Students learn to integrate their faith into the subject they are learning. A Biblical world-view is instilled in the students so that as they move on in life, they make decisions and evaluate what they learn in the future from that perspective.

Academically, students are challenged to ‘master the subject’ and to develop a good work ethic. An excellent variety of classes are available to students given the relatively small size of the school. In addition, an academic counselor helps the students plan their courses and also prepare for college and/or technical school.

Athletics are offered, not only as an outlet for talented players, but as a place to learn teamwork and discipline.
