Welcome Back to School: A New Year of Growth

Welcome Back to School: A New Year of Growth
By: Teresa Chambers, M.S., CPA, Head of School

Welcome back to a new school year! I hope this morning's drop-off was a sweet and memorable moment for your family, filled with smiles, hugs and enthusiasm. I've witnessed many students hugging old friends, welcoming new friends, embracing new teachers and classrooms, and of course, successfully opening their lockers! 

There is so much to be excited about as we step into this new school year! God continues to bless and grow our school community! Here are just a few ways you will see it this year:

• A growing school family: We are thrilled to welcome 110 new students, bringing our total enrollment to a record-high of 567 students!
• New and transitioning faculty: We welcome 14 new teachers to our faculty, while 11 returning teachers transition into new positions where they will continue to serve and invest in our students.
• A campus that is growing with us: We've expanded our campus footprint to the fourth floor, creating additional classroom and learning spaces for middle school.
• Expanding athletics: We are restructuring our athletics programs to include fifth grade students while supporting our program goals and accommodating enrollment growth.
• Strengthening our spiritual formation: We are deepening Bible instruction in the lower school through the addition of a dedicated Bible class.

As the year unfolds, I look forward to sharing other thoughtful ways we are preparing for the future and advancing our mission. With greater anticipation, I look forward to seeing how God will lead, grow and work through our school community in the year ahead. What a tremendous gift and joy it is to walk this journey together!
