Reading is gift from God, which enables our students to explore ideas of all people. Language is a God-given resource, which allows us to share fellings, dreams, concerns and faith.
Language Arts skills encompasses the valuable areas of listening, speaking, writing and reading. Students are invited to question, reflect and gain understanding of God's world while becoming competent, fluent users of Language. In a compassionate, multi-cultural learning environment, students become thoughtful and critical readers, independent thinkers, articulate speakers and intelligent, purposeful listeners in preparation to serve God and others throughout life.
Favorite verse: My grace is sufficient for you for My power is made perfect in weakness. -2 Corinthians 12:9
