After submiting our latest Accreditation Progress Report to Cognia demonstrating additional improvement efforts following the External Review which took place in 2015, we were extremely pleased to know that Cognia recognized our extensive and focused work on becoming a more data-informed school, increasing our Index of Educational Quality (IEQ) score to an even greater level of 315 in comparison to the 282.79 average of all worldwide accreditation visits carried out the year of our visit.
Despite this outstanding news, we come before you with a humble and willing heart to be used by God to do our part to Inspire Minds and Transform Hearts at this school that we love so much.
Thank you in advance for considering us as a trusted educational community for your children.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section tab_id=”1584837896711-1515ad5c-f223″ title=”When can I visit the school?”][vc_column_text]Upon receipt of your request to visit the school, our Admissions Department will contact you and arrange for a school visit during school hours.
