For on the first day of the first month he began to go up from Babylonia, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, for the good hand of his God was on him.

House Cup 🏆🛡️

Reminiscent of traditional European boarding schools, our House System unites upper school students into four Houses: Edwards, Kepler, Wilberforce, and Kuyper. Overseen by invested faculty, these houses cultivate leadership, discipleship, service, and a rich, family-like student culture.

Throughout the year, students enjoy House competitions and earn points to win the coveted House Cup, strengthening a vital sense of belonging among our teenage students.

Congratulations to the House of Kepler on winning the House Cup this year!

“If your highest goal is comfort, you will organize your life around avoiding difficulty.

If your highest goal is approval, you will always be controlled by other people’s opinions…

If your highest goal is success, you may eventually sacrifice the things that really matter to try to achieve it.

But if you orient your life toward truth and goodness, and the God who made you, you will find something far sturdier than success: meaning…

…Make sure that what you are reaching toward is large enough to satisfy the kind of soul you have.”

– Mrs. Trish Jamison, Upper School Literature Teacher
Commencement Address to the Class of 2026
