Philosophy

 

The Bible instructs believers to make disciples by teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:20) and to train up children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). We consider the Word of God to be central to the mission of our school, and we believe that the role of parents / guardians is essential since they have the primary responsibility for teaching the word of God to their children. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 states “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”  (NIV)  

 

​

Academic Emphasis

 

We want to help families by providing a high quality education that is both academically challenging and faithful to a Biblical view of the world.  In support of this goal we will employ only academically qualified teachers who incorporate best teaching practices, engaging curriculum, and purposeful daily lesson plans that will prepare your child for life and learning. The school’s curriculum shall take into consideration the spiritual, physical and intellectual development of its students. The instructional program shall seek to achieve the curricular goals without creating unnatural divisions between sacred and secular knowledge.

 

Biblical Enrichment

 

We want to help parents build character in their child with Bible lessons and activities. We want to come alongside parents in helping them to make disciples who obey what Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:20).  The school does not seek to take the place of the home or replace the role of a church family.  Instead it seeks to support both in fulfilling their callings.  

 

Friendly Environment  

 

We expect students will have fun, make friends, and enjoy school.  Students, parents, and staff members in our community are expected support our statement of Christian beliefs and to exhibit Christ-like character, integrity, language, behavior, and respect toward others. Basic classroom expectations include listening carefully to all instruction, using polite words, keeping hands and feet to ourselves, being a good friend, and respecting others.
