Teach where every child is known by name.

The Shining Light teaching team

Why teach here

A clear mission, a close-knit team.

Our vision is to see every child rooted in God's Word, growing in wisdom and joy, and shining brightly as a light for Christ wherever they go.

Teachers here know every child and family, work from a structured curriculum, and shape the school's culture directly. The school is licensed by the Virginia Department of Education as a child day center and is a member of ACSI.

What we hope for in a teacher.

The same three things families feel on a visit are what we ask of every teacher.

Rooted in faith

Christ at the center of the school day, from morning prayer to the way children learn to care for one another.

Joyful, purposeful learning

Hands-on, real-book learning with Abeka and Singapore Math that builds strong foundations and a love of discovery.

A caring community

A small school where teachers and families walk alongside each child.
