BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Competitive athletics, fine arts, and other extracurricular opportunities allow students to explore natural giftings and grow in service, responsibility, and leadership.
Living Textbooks
StoneBridge teachers and mentors form personal relationships with students, instilling in them a deep understanding of their eternal purpose in God’s world. They serve as “living textbooks,” who are master teachers immersed in their area of expertise, able to impart wisdom gleaned through scholarship and experience.
Word of God
By applying the Word of God to every subject, students gain a deeper understanding of God’s sovereignty, goodness, and wisdom in every area of life.
