The heart of any academic institution is its administration and faculty. Patten Academy is characterized by staff members who are known for their pursuit of academic excellence, their understanding of the individual student, and their desire to help develop the whole person—body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Many of the staff members reside on or near the campus and are an integral part of the school community.

Relatively small classes make it possible for Patten Academy’s staff members to work on an individual basis with the students. The faculty are active participants in the learning process by contributing their own sense of values, attitudes, moral examples, and their philosophies of life in the light of God’s Word.
