EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Waterbrook's mission, to provide a classical Christian education, of the highest quality, in a Christ-centered environment rooted in Love, Truth, Wisdom, and Virtue, encapsulates our belief that by training students in the theological, moral, intellectual, and civic virtues we are equipping them to live well-ordered lives as human beings and citizens.

FAITH & COMMUNITY
Waterbrook is a non-denominational institution that recognizes the central role of religious instruction in a classical education. The name Waterbrook, as well as our mascot - Harts, was chosen by our founding board from Psalm 42:1 "As the hart pants after the water brook, so pants my soul after Thee, O God" (NKJV). This is truly our desire as it reflects our vision to impact and teach, by precept and example, the immemorial longing to pursue a relationship with God and to be a positive influence in the community.

Academic Program & Fine Arts
At Waterbrook, we believe education is more than names, dates, letters, and numbers. Rather, education is about growing students to be a certain type of individual. It is about teaching their minds how to think, not what to think. It is about guiding their hearts in such a way that they become men and women who love the right things and desire to pursue those things with a Godly passion filled with skill and ability.

ATHLETICS & STUDENT LIFE
At Waterbrook, we believe athletics and student involvement promote excellence, encourages teamwork, fosters leadership, and creates a positive attitude. When guided through the proper instruction and direction, these are skills students will use throughout their lives. Waterbrook students are involved in honor society, student government, morning devotion and worship, after-school clubs, activities, and volunteer service opportunities.
