Overview
Mission
The 2024-2025 school year was our second school year in operation. We served 7 students in grades 9-12, providing a religious based high school education with a focus on catholic based principles, specifically building on growing active disciples of jesus christ. This fulfills our mission which is: to provide a high school education rooted in the values of catholic tradition in order to assist parents in forming the minds and wills of their children in accordance with divine law and the teachings of jesus christ. The teachings of jesus christ are held in the deposit of faith, and as such we will strive to provide students with the knowledge necessary to know and understand these teachings which can then be reflected in their school studies and environment.
What it reported doing in 2024
In our personalized learing program, we provide academic support as determined by the students needs which included remedial math, science, and english language arts. 3 of our 7 students benefited greatly from these services throughout the school year. We were also able to accomodate 1 student who needs english as a second language support.

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
