Good News!

  • A little rain didn’t dampen the spirit of 78 fifth grade students and 19 chaperones who spent three days and two nights on St. John’s Island this past week. While on the ultimate coastal ecology field trip, our fifth graders spent their time at the camp taking classes like Seining and Entomology as well as exploring the beach, salt marsh, maritime forest, a freshwater swamp, and the infamous MUD PIT!

Christ in Action

  • Friday’s Chapel program was led by Amy Martin, Lower School Media Assistant.  Mrs. Martin shared the story of how God used Rev. George and Mrs. Harold Deane Akins to establish our school in 1951.  The original mission of our school was, “The Bible first, then teaching students how to live and how to make a living.”  Our focus is still the same as we focus on our mission statement of “developing the whole person to the glory of God”  Mrs. Martin encouraged our children to look for the picture of Rev. Akins and his Bible outside of the media center.
