As a Christian educator it is my belief that students should be trained with Christian-like values that reflects a Godly character.

Most students and parents need a sense of strong comfort and safety when trusting educators to provide everything that is expected of them professionally and spiritually. Colleagues and Administrators value a strong community of networking, understanding and most importantly relationships to make the job load easier and ensuring the best interest of the students.
