Christ at the center
Religion is not a segregated subject in the day’s work. Its influence permeates and gives substance to every subject area we teach, from mathematics to current events. Teachers in every grade teach formal Bible classes.

Our Mission
An education for the whole child.
Our mission is to provide a Christian education to the students in our building by providing for the spiritual, academic, social, emotional and physical development of each individual.
God’s Word is taught throughout all curriculum areas to raise disciples for Jesus Christ and to expand God’s Kingdom to the family, the community and the world. A child studying secular subjects is still God’s child, who must learn that all knowledge and life come from God and are meant to glorify Him.
Five kinds of growth, every day
Christian education has the same general aims as any good school — knowledge, skill, ability, attitude and character — but it is built on the Bible. All five areas below receive daily attention at Aspire.
- Spiritual — daily Bible instruction, memory work and worship
- Academic — a full course of study from 4K through graduation
- Mental — study habits, reasoning and independent work
- Physical — scheduled PE, recess and outdoor play year‑round
- Social — a small community where students learn to live together in forgiveness and love
Why Aspire
Small enough to know each student. Serious about teaching them.
Known by name
With 23 students and eight teachers and staff, no child disappears into a crowd. Multi‑grade homerooms let older students lead and younger students stretch, and every teacher knows every family.
Held to a standard
We expect students to be at or above grade level in every subject. Standardized testing twice a year, Step Up intervention for students who need it, and honor roll recognition in grades 6–12 keep that expectation real.
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Academics
