Meet the Team Committed to Your Child’s Spiritual and Academic Growth

Ministry-Minded Christian Faculty

Our teachers have chosen education as their life work. They view working with your child both as an honor and a ministry. The entire CrossLife faculty desires to educate your child in a way that will help them succeed in living a life that honors God.

All our lead teachers have earned bachelor’s degrees, with the director and most teachers holding a Bachelor of Education from Martin Luther College — a school that specifically prepares its students to teach in private Christian schools across the nation.

The MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test is a three-part assessment used to evaluate the growth and proficiency of K-12 students in math, reading, and language usage. Scores are measured against national grade-level standards.

CrossLife conducts MAP testing in the fall, winter, and spring of each school year.
