The basis for any school is its relationship to its supporting
community. Therefore, education is a matter of what community
we choose to shape our identity. Mennonite schools work in partnership
with church and home to nurture youth in Christian faith.
Mennonite schools bring youth together with Christian adult mentors.
The teachers become more than just teachers: they become students'
friends.
At Mennonite schools, people know each other and take interest
in each other as Christian friends. Our schools are great places
to build lasting friendships because friends share similar values.
Mennonite schools are places of hope and peace. Because of faith
in Christ the atmosphere of the schools nurture a sense of contentment
and well-being among students.
Mennonite schools are places of fun. The positive outlook of teachers
and students contributes to an overall atmosphere where wholesome
laughter comes easily.
The church is not perfect and Mennonite schools are not perfect.
Where problems exist, Mennonite schools seek to resolve conflict
and restore relationships according to biblical principles. We
believe in open dialogue that encourages growth by working though
problems rather than ignoring them.
