“LET EVERY STUDENT BE PLAINLY INSTRUCTED AND EARNESTLY PRESSED TO CONSIDER WELL [THAT]  THE MAIN END OF HIS LIFE AND STUDIES IS TO KNOW GOD AND JESUS CHRIST, WHICH IS ETERNAL LIFE, JOHN 17:3, AND THEREFORE TO LAY CHRIST IN THE BOTTOM, AS THE ONLY FOUNDATION OF ALL SOUND KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING.”

-HARVARD COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT, 1643

High School

Submersed in curriculum and learning opportunities that encourage higher-order thinking, SMLCA’s 9th-12th graders are well on their way to becoming Faith Defenders and Cultural Change Agents.  Resisting the postmodern Secular/Sacred divide lens, our students leave viewing every aspect of life, family, and career choices through a Biblical Worldview lens. While touring our classrooms you will observe rhetorical conversations and constructive debate on key cultural and historical issues, collaborative and project-based learning, facilitation of value-added, ethical research,  proper MLA & APA citation practices, and Biblical education and leadership training. Students have a wide array of educational course interests to choose from, including Vocational, STEAM, Creative Arts, and 4-year institution Dual-Enrollment offerings. Culminating with a Senior Thesis Project, and required service hours, SMLCA students enter the next season of life as thoughtful, confident, life-long learners, with the propensity to lead well and Biblically in their homes, communities, and careers.
