SAT Questing 2017
The SAT 10 is a national standardized norm-referenced test. When we are communicating with our scholars you will not hear teachers refer to it as a test. Unfortunately, in this day and age many of our scholars have been exposed to stressful, high-anxiety inducing situations due to excessive, pressure-filled testing situations. When scholars are stressed they do not do their best. This is why our school has decided that rather than doing “traditional testing,” we embark on a school-wide "questing!"

Times of tragedy and times of blessing give us as parents a unique opportunity to reach and to guide the hearts of our kids. It’s a beautiful truth that in our most vulnerable moments of deep pain and sorrow that God is near to us.
