Dear Parents,
What an honor and privilege it is to partner with you in your child’s education. We believe that you are the primary educator in your child’s life. We realize the importance of that God-given responsibility in educating your child to love the Lord their God with all of the heart, all their mind, all their soul, and all their strength. We are excited to be a part of this amazing journey with you.
We believe everyone is uniquely created in the image of God, and as such, we see each child as a unique being. Our teaching philosophy and practices are geared toward helping each child meet his/her potential by meeting his/her individual needs. Our goal is to academically challenge our students, to hold them to high expectations, and to encourage them to begin and to develop their personal relationship with the Lord. We desire that students foster within themselves a love of learning that will help them live up to their potential.
Our curriculum is Christ-centered, classically influenced, and non-common core. We continually look for ways to incorporate faith into every educational experience in and out of the classroom. Our program strives to provide opportunities for students to develop sound reason and a sound faith.
As we come together during this school year, we are committed to you, your child, and your child’s education. According to God’s plan, the family is the foundation of human society and we hold that relationship sacred. We look forward to partnering with you this year. As we say, “Once you are a part of the CAL Family, you are always a part of the CAL family.”
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4 (NIV)
