FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hi Agritopia Families,
As we close out another school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership, prayers, and support. It has been a blessing to walk alongside your children as they’ve grown in knowledge, character, and Christ.
As summer begins, we pray this season brings your family rest, renewal, and meaningful moments together. We look forward to welcoming your children back in August, refreshed and ready for another year of growing both spiritually and academically. Have a great summer!

2025-2026 STAFF UPDATE
We want to share that Mr. Mathews, our middle school Bible teacher, will be moving on to a new ministry opportunity at Shepherd’s House. While we are saddened to see him go, we trust that the Lord has great plans both for him and for our campus. Please join us in prayer as we begin the search for the right person to step into this important role next year. Click here to read Mr. Mathews’ note to families.
