the study of music and art. Students’ physical development is
advanced through participation in P.E. classes that promote coordination
and healthy competition as well as good fun. Specialists teach each
of these classes to all students on a regular basis.

school board and is accountable to the church board of elders. He is

County.

their students.

to others.

considers the family to be of first importance to a child. We continually

of our school. Parents have numerous opportunities to participate in
the life of the school.
