People of all faiths and those with no particular religion are welcome here.
We try to instil in our students attitudes and values that are based on the teachings of the gospel and the deeds of Jesus Christ.
We will support a variety of extracurricular activities to foster the academic, artistic, and physical growth of each of our students.
