The Seed of a Vision
In 1976, a group of dedicated families and church members felt a calling to provide a Christ-centered education for their children in the greater Indianapolis area.

Jesus-
Centered
We put Jesus at the center of everything we do, weaving a Biblical worldview into our curriculum and daily life. Your child will grow in faith and character, prepared to make a meaningful impact for Christ.
Relationally-
Driven
We foster meaningful relationships that create an authentic and supportive community. Here, your child is more than a name—they are known, valued, and loved.
Educationally-Anchored
Our dedicated educators cultivate an environment of curiosity and excellence. We challenge students to reach their full potential, preparing them for success in college and beyond.
We believe that every student is uniquely created by God with a purpose to discover and a world to impact.
Our mission goes beyond academics—it’s about shaping hearts, minds, and character to reflect Christ in every area of life. The outcomes below capture what we prayerfully hope each graduate will know, value, and be equipped to do by the time they leave our care. Grounded in our core pillars—Jesus-Centered, Relationally-Driven, and Educationally-Anchored—these expectations guide how we teach, mentor, and walk alongside students every day.

In lieu of issuing letter grades for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years, HEA 1591 requires IDOE to develop a school performance report for public and state-accredited non-public schools to post on their websites.
Note: the data included on these reports reflects data from the 2022-2023 school year or cohort year, depending on the metric. The only exception to this is career coursework, which reflects data from the 2022 cohort year. Data reflecting the 2022-2024 school year is anticipated to be added later this year.
