The Importance Of Parents / Guardians

 

We believe that the role of parents / guardians is essential in any educational setting.  In addition, we believe that parents have the primary responsibility for teaching the word of God to their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-7).  We want to come alongside parents in training up children in the way they should go  (Proverbs 22:6) and helping them to make disciples who obey what Jesus has commanded (Matthew 28:20).
