Admissions
Families interested in enrollment must complete the admissions application and submit an admissions fee. Applicants will be contacted to schedule a family interview with school administration and staff. After the interview, if both parties agree to move forward, a registration fee is required to secure the student’s place and to order necessary textbooks and other curriculum.
Tuition and Fees
Parents may opt for a 12-month or 9-month payment plan, submit 2 equal payments at the beginning of each semester, or deliver the full tuition payment in a single lump sum upon enrollment. Multiple-child discounts are available, with a 5% reduction for the second enrolled child, and a 10% reduction on the third.
Curriculum
The WayMaker approach emphasizes a strong foundation in core subjects such as math, language arts, science, and social studies using Abeka textbooks paired with teacher training focused on active learning strategies.
School Calendar
A school week of Tuesday through Friday, provides time for family, friends, and fellowship on weekends with no need to make up missed days for national holidays

Though not a "uniform," the dress code provides a sense of unity and school spirit and an opportunity to focus on academic and spiritual growth rather than fashion.
School Supply Lists
School supply lists help parents to purchase school supplies that will be used for the academic benefit and personal comfort of their children.
