Secondary Guidance
Services
The Guidance Office for junior and senior high is designed to support the
school's mission, which is "to assist families and their churches in equipping
students for lifelong learning and service to Christ".
In order to help students
and parents continue to seek first God's kingdom during these formative years,
a Biblical worldview approach is utilized for individual and group counseling,
academic choices and scheduling, and college and career decision-making. High
quality individual attention is our goal as we strive to maximize the advantages
of the rich relationships found in a small Christian school.
