Dr. Melissa Pittard – Mathematics
Dr. Bill John – Science
Chad Grissom – History
Ben Hughes – English
Audrey Hazlitt – Latin
We are working to build a community of families with similar philosophies of education and Christian discipleship in the local church and at home. We also seek to provide spiritually and academically qualified tutors to promote excellence in all areas of study. We meet with tutors to promote common care for the students as well as a growing integration across disciplines.
