Faculty & Staff
Our faculty and tutors are more than educators. They are mentors, scholars, and followers of Christ who care deeply about the spiritual and intellectual growth of every student. In the spirit of the Oxford tutorial tradition, they walk closely with students, guiding them through meaningful discussion, personal reflection, and the pursuit of truth. Together, they model what it means to think deeply, live faithfully, and lead with grace in every sphere of life.
