The Headmaster's Desk
Dear Cary Christian Family,
God is blessing Cary Christian School. We are so thankful for the beautiful start to this year and what He is doing on our campus. The strength of our community comes from our families. Below we have sought to outline our vision for the future. We are looking for families who will partner with us by praying, by locking arms with our vision, and by donating to the annual fund. We hope you have time to read through our vision and if possible to support our pursuit of excellence. (Click here to donate now.)
In Christ,
Robbie Hinton
Our Vision
We will intentionally pursue an extraordinary outcome through Sacramental Moments by walking through a robust curriculum delivered by loving teachers who are passionate about the Lord, their subjects, and their students.
Our Experience
Our students are encountering Christ through every aspect of their education. Click here to view each of the students’ stories.
Our Partnership
We seek to raise up strong men and women who know God and know how to flourish through Him in the modern world. This will require us calling your child to do hard things while at Cary Christian, so that he/she may have a robust experience of the Sacramental Moments our teachers offer. We know that growth comes through challenge. Please join us in praying for these hard moments and that God would use them for a transformational impact.
Our Vision
We will develop a Learning Community Mindset by focusing our efforts on developing the habits of the mind in a way that develops the habits of the soul.
Our Experience
Our teachers embody these habits so they can help instill them in the hearts and minds of their students. Click here to view each of these teachers’ stories.
“Everything we do here has echoes in eternity.” – Tom McMahon, Rhetoric School Seminar Teacher
Our Partnership
Our teachers long to learn and want to get better at loving your child well. We ask that you love them well. Approach each conversation with your child’s teachers with respect. Set the standard for accepting responsibility.
Our Vision
We will develop spaces to enrich learning, innovation, athletics, the arts, and the fostering of relationships, pursuing Meaningful and Enjoyable Experiences for every member of our community.
Our Experience
Thank you to those who made it possible to renovate these beautiful spaces. We are so excited to bring our Art and Theater programs to the next level!
Our Partnership
As we look to the next generation, our prayer is that we can provide a transformational experience for every student. We ask that you lock arms with us, as we seek to raise $250,000 toward our annual fund ($100,000 has already been raised). We are excited to put the finishing touches on our Theater and embark upon other needed updates across our campus so that students know without a doubt this campus was intentionally made for them! We are pouring into this campus so that we can provide Sacramental Moments that lead to Extraordinary Outcomes for each student. Click here to donate now!
Our prayer for our school is that the Lord would use Cary Christian to call each of our students to be rooted and grounded in love . . . filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:17-19).
