Education Council
We want our curriculum to be gospel-centric and believe that a council of Christians who are passionate about education is the best means to fulfill this. We have formed an Education Council that reports to the Elders at Exodus Church to develop our pedagogy at Saint Boniface. This team will outline the academic program for each learning level as well as providing oversight for teachers and faculty development.

Faculty & Staff
Kyle Waters - Head of School
Kyle Waters, a native of Alabama, has lived in the Wichita area since 2007. After High School, he joined the United States Marine Corps and is a Troy University graduate (Troy, AL). Additionally, he has done graduate work at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
He has taught History, Government, Bible, and Logic during his 17-year teaching career and has coached football in middle and High School.
Mr. Waters has been married to his wife Amber since 2003 and they have four children: Wes, Shelby, Hunter, and Jaelyn. He has also been an Elder at Exodus Church since 2019. He believes that education is discipleship. How we educate God’s covenant children is important because it has a temporal and eternal impact. We are to train children in Biblical wisdom and discernment so that they may love God and the world He created, and be joyfully grateful for the blessings that the Father has given them; displaying this joy and gratefulness to all that they encounter.
“Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.” ― G.K. Chesterton

Eric Weathers - Art Teacher
Eric Weathers is a professional artist, designer, educator, and published graphic novel author whose creative career has spanned more than 16 years.
With a background in illustration, sequential art, storyboarding, graphic design, painting, photography, and videography, Eric has built his career around one central passion: bringing stories and ideas to life visually. His experience across multiple creative disciplines gives his work a distinctive blend of strong design, dynamic storytelling, and artistic versatility.

Whether he is developing characters, building worlds, composing a page, or teaching the next generation of artists, Eric approaches his craft with the conviction that imagination is a gift meant to be cultivated and put to work.
He is especially passionate about helping young artists discover that drawing is not reserved for the naturally gifted; it is a skill that can be learned, strengthened, and mastered through practice.
For Eric, art is more than making something look good. It is storytelling. It is communication. It is imagination made visible. It is imaging our Creator.
“The Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.”
— Francis A. Schaeffer
