how our students not only learn about but apply and live our religion on a
daily basis.

The team unanimously recommended re-accreditation to the Middle

The accreditation process for the schools was chaired by faculty member

We are very fortunate to have all of our wonderful faculty and staff
providing an excellent New Church education for our students.
