OUR STORY

Dear Radiant Family & Friends,

Welcome to Radiant!

It is truly an honor that you are here.

Radiant began with a simple desire my husband, Jeremy, and I carried in our hearts—to create something for our own children that didn’t yet exist in our city. We longed for a school where they could receive an excellent education while growing in a genuine relationship with Jesus. We dreamed of a place where worship wasn’t confined to a chapel service but became a way of life; where wonder, creativity, and academic excellence could beautifully coexist with the presence of God.

More than anything, we wanted our children to know Jesus deeply, walk confidently in who He created them to be, and be surrounded by friendships rooted in Christ—friendships that would encourage them to love Him more, pursue truth, celebrate one another’s God-given brilliance, and faithfully walk together through every season of life. We believe those kinds of friendships are one of God’s greatest gifts, and we pray Radiant is a place where they flourish.

As we prayed, we sensed the Holy Spirit inviting us to take a step of faith and begin building the school we had been dreaming about. What we quickly discovered was that we weren’t the only ones longing for something like this. Family after family shared the very same desire—a place where their children could be deeply known, academically challenged, spiritually rooted, and encouraged to flourish in spirit, soul, and body.

Today, it is one of the greatest joys of our lives to watch that dream become a reality.

At Radiant, the presence of God is central to everything we do. We believe His presence transforms hearts, cultivates wisdom, and creates an atmosphere where children can truly flourish. Whether we are gathered in worship, exploring God’s creation outdoors, reading a beautiful story together, solving a math problem, creating a work of art, or sharing a meal, our desire is that every part of the school day points our students toward Jesus.

Everything we do is rooted in our four core values: Worship, Identity, Wholeness, and Brilliance. These values shape our classrooms, guide our relationships, and serve as the foundation for the culture we are intentionally cultivating each day.

At Radiant, we believe children are not simply students to be educated—they are sons and daughters created in the image of God, each carrying unique gifts, purpose, and incredible potential. Our desire is to cultivate an environment where every child is known, celebrated, challenged, and deeply loved while discovering who God created them to be.

We also recognize that parents are a child’s first and most influential teachers. It is a privilege to partner with families during these formative years as together we help raise sons and daughters who love Jesus, love His presence, pursue wisdom, build life-giving friendships, and become compassionate leaders who carry the love of Christ into the world around them.

As you explore Radiant, my prayer is that you experience more than information about a school—I hope you catch the heartbeat behind it. My hope is that every child who walks through our doors will know they belong, delight in learning, encounter the love and presence of Jesus, and leave with a deep confidence in their identity, the unique brilliance God has placed within them, and the calling He has prepared for their life.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Radiant. It is a tremendous privilege to serve families, and we would be honored to partner with yours as together we raise sons and daughters who know Jesus, love His presence, and impact the world for His Kingdom and His glory.

JESUS IS KING!

With Gratitude,
