Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
Through a Christ-centered education distinguished by teacher excellence and the formation of the mind, body, and spirit, Kingsminster Ponte Vedra partners with families to cultivate young men and women who pursue truth and wisdom, delight in learning, and live with Christ-like character, courage, and joyful service to others.
Kingsminster inspires students to grow in wisdom, virtue, and leadership as they discover and steward their God-given gifts and calling in the world.
Our Vision
Kingsminster Ponte Vedra seeks to cultivate generations of wise, courageous, and compassionate leaders who pursue truth and goodness, steward their gifts faithfully, and serve the world with integrity, humility, and hope.
Grounded in Christ and shaped by a joyful pursuit of wisdom, character, and purpose, Kingsminster aspires to build a Cathedral of Christian Learning for generations to come.
Our Values
Faith. Christ-centered truth anchors our learning and shapes the character, purpose, and lives of our students.
Excellence. We pursue academic and personal excellence, challenging students to develop their abilities and steward their gifts well.
Integrity. We cultivate honesty, responsibility, and moral courage so students lead with conviction and character.
Service. We encourage students to lead by serving others, using their gifts to strengthen their communities and the world.
Our Christian Faith
Kingsminster is unapologetically and intentionally Christ-centered.
We welcome families of Christian faith, other faith traditions, and no particular faith tradition to explore and apply to Kingsminster.
The school’s Christian convictions will shape teaching, chapel, relationships, community expectations, and the way Kingsminster approaches questions of truth, dignity, character, service, marriage, sexuality, life, and other matters addressed in the Statement.
Board members and employees are required to affirm the Statement; families are not required to affirm it. The convictions expressed in the Statement nevertheless shape expectations for the education and community life of the school.
