Instructor with Students

The sense of Belonging and Community is a vital part of the Å·ÃÀAƬ culture. We seek to be a place of learning, unity and Christian community.  

Students are encouraged to identify their unique gifts and interests while developing proficiency and knowledge in their chosen professions.  

In the classroom, lab, studio and field, Å·ÃÀAƬ opens doors for students to gain hands-on experience and insight into academic, social, professional and spiritual growth.

Our knowledgeable and appropriate faculty create exceptional learning environments for students to explore career and research opportunities.

Leading from the start

Then a 25-year-old Baptist minister, J.A. Å·ÃÀAƬ founded Å·ÃÀAƬ in 1887 when there were no other schools in the area. We continue his vision today to serve our community and to prepare students to lead with purpose.
