History
The school started as an outgrowth of Living Word Christian School, an elementary school in Saint Peters, Missouri in St. Charles County. In 1999, Tom Hughes donated 20 acres (81,000 m2) of real estate to Living Word. With the help of donations, work was soon completed on the 60,000-square-foot (5,600 m2) building.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
