Evenings are a mix of free time and academics.

Middle School students spend their mornings and late afternoons on academic subjects. After lunch, students enjoy participating in sports (soccer, volleyball, tennis, etc.), projects (art, ceramics, crafts, etc.) and special activities (swimming, bowling, horseback riding, archery, drama, computer studies, etc.). Evenings are reserved for group activities such as crafts and games.

In the Lower School, there is even greater emphasis on the outdoors and on recreational activities that have educational value. Students go on field trips and other outings. In general, the mornings are devoted to basic reading and math studies.

All students who are 9 or older participate in the school's Student Services program. Through the program, students contribute 50 minutes a day to the operation and maintenance of the school, gaining a greater appreciation and responsibility for the work involved.

CAMPUS RESOURCES

Residential Facilities: Student dormitories are located in the main building and in a dormitory building overlooking the beautiful Willamette Valley. Living quarters vary from small single rooms to large rooms for as many as four. Students may bring decorative items for their rooms. There is a free laundromat on campus.

Faculty members reside with their families on campus near the dormitories, providing assistance. Students in the Middle School (usually 12 and under) have special advisors called Personal Teachers who give them the care a child that age requires.

Doctors are on call in the nearby towns of Sheridan and McMinnville; the nearest hospital is 30 minutes away.

Transportation to churches in neighboring towns is arranged by the school for students who want to attend services.
