It was founded in 1979 by a group of parents who wished to have a non-denominational school. With support of the pastors of Parkwood Baptist Church and First ARP Church, it was opened in 1980, in Parkwood Baptist Church. It opened a second campus, provided by Catawaba Heights Baptist Church, in 1991. In 1994, it entered into a contract with the Sisters of Mercy to lease a portion of the old Sacred Heart College campus in Belmont for use by the middle and High school.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.) and doesn't fail to intimidate the opposing schools heavily.
