Target Date
A bus full of students. A school full of stories.
We believe God uniquely creates every student with a special purpose. Through academic experiences and daily walks with God, we partner with families to nurture curious, creative, and faith-filled learners.
That’s why we’re raising funds for a new school bus. More than just transportation, this bus will carry our students beyond the classroom and into meaningful, real-world experiences that strengthen their faith, spark curiosity, and help build the resilience, character, and confidence that come from learning to walk with Christ through every season of life.
Why a Bus?
Three Reasons This Bus Matters
This campaign is about giving our students room to explore – and giving our school the freedom to say yes. A “new to us” bus, is a modest, practical investment with an outsized impact on student experience.
01
More Field Trips
With our own bus ready to go, learning can move beyond the classroom more often. Students will be able to explore God’s creation, discover real-world connections to their studies, and deepen their understanding of the world He made — without the barriers of expensive rentals, scheduling difficulties, or outside coordination.
02
Stronger Community
From sports tournaments and choir performances to retreat weekends and service opportunities, our students will travel together. A dedicated bus strengthens friendships, builds unity, and creates shared memories that last a lifetime.
03
Saving On Costs
Owning our own bus replaces years of rising rental costs and reduces the need for parent volunteers to coordinate transportation. This allows us to be better stewards of the resources God has given us, directing more funds back into programs that directly bless our students.
