Attendance at this school is a privilege and not a right.  The goals of this school are not to reform but to train Christian youth of every ability in the highest principles of Christian leadership, self-discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity, and good citizenship.  The school stands without apology for the old-time Gospel and the highest standards of morality and Christian behavior.
 
The school’s objective for a private, Biblical, Christian education is to obey the Scriptural imperatives of Deuteronomy 6:5-7; and Proverbs 22:6.  Teaching is training. Training for life must include training for eternity.
 		    
 

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children... ~ Deut 6:5-7
