Statement of Faith

I teach as a Christian and in the light of the historic Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed as a faithful summary of the Christian faith. The only spiritual requirements of the students are a good attitude, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to kindness and graciousness toward others, but it should be expected that the teaching will clearly, explicitly, and regularly reflect a historical and classical Christian perspective.
