INTERMEDIATE
It is our mission to take the love of Jesus Christ to the community by partnering with families to equip the whole student for their individual calling through a rich, experiential education.

Students change classes in a small setting, have the privilege of managing their own locker, and take responsibility for their own assignments and homework.
School hours: 8:15am – 3:20pm (carpool begins at 8:00 a.m.)
Extended Hours available beginning at 7:30 a.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m. (extra fee)
