Core principles
ATTITUDE + ACTION = ACHIEVEMENT
01
ATTITUDE
The way a person feels and tackles certain life situations; greatly affecting human behavior and a necessary component in the self’s action plan to achievement. One’s attitude is always based on personal choices, ultimately determining one’s successes or failures in their lifetime.
02
ACTION
REPLACE THIS DEFINITION. The live site currently repeats the Attitude definition word for word under Action — see the notes document for a suggested replacement that preserves your meaning. Do not publish this page until this block is rewritten.
03
ACHIEVEMENT
The act of successfully reaching a desired goal or outcome; often through a positive attitude and a followed course of action. Ultimately leading to positive self-reinforcement and future successes.
Academics
ACCREDITED, CERTIFIED AND COUNTED
Cognia accredited. Our school is independently reviewed against international standards for school quality — the same accreditation body used by established college-preparatory schools across Florida.
NCAA certified. Our courses are approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center, so the work an athlete does here counts toward eligibility. A scholarship offer is worth nothing without a transcript that qualifies to accept it.
Dual enrollment. Students earn college credit before they graduate, shortening the road and the cost of a degree.
All courses are taught at college-preparatory level and beyond.

Our foundation
BASIS OF FAITH
We believe that God is ONE, eternal, who created everything that exists through Him and for Him. God has revealed Himself to humanity throughout history as The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. These are 3 people in one. Not divisible into being, nature or being.
Genesis 1:1-2, Deuteronomy 6:4, John 1:1-18
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the only mediator between God and men. Our Lord, who was conceived by the work and grace of the Holy Spirit, was born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried, descended into hell, on the third day rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty.
Philippians 2:6-11, John 14:6, Matthew 16:16
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the same spirit of God that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. He guides us into all righteousness and all truth. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, sanctifies us, makes us witnesses of Christ and gives the Church the necessary gifts for its edification.
John 16:13-15, Romans 8:11, John 16:7-8, 2 Thessalonians 2:13, Acts 1:8, 1 Corinthians 14
We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. It is the standard of faith and conduct of the believer. It is the final authority for determining all true doctrine.
2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:105, Ephesians 6:17
We believe that salvation comes from God and by God. Salvation is a gift from God. All humanity has sinned and cannot achieve salvation, nor communion with God, through merits or own works. The human being is saved only by the grace of God through faith in the life, death and resurrection of Christ.
2 Timothy 1:9, Ephesians 2:8, Galatians 2:16-20, Titus 2:11-14, Romans 3:24, Romans 11:6, Ephesians 2:5, John 1:16, Titus 3:7
