Our philosophy of education has five primary components. - The Purpose of Education: The purpose of education is to know and to respond
to God and His Word (Proverbs 1:7). When students are rightly related to God through faith in Christ as Savior and as
they learn His Word, they can come to think Christianity and perceive ideas, philosophies, physical laws, the course of history,
and mathematical principles from a Christian worldview.
- The Content of Education: The God of the Bible is the Source of Truth (John
14:6). In addition to acquisition of content and skills, education is concerned with the spiritual formation of students. Instruction
in moral growth, or achieving Christ-like character, must be a part of a complete education.
- The
Process of Education: Education
is accomplished through a professionally competent Christian teacher using instructional methods that are appropriate for
the content and the student. A variety of objective teaching methods should be used since the Bible indicates that Truth
is objective (Deuteronomy 6:6-7 and Proverbs 22:6).
- The Responsibility of Education: Parents are responsible for the education of the
children God gives them (Deuteronomy 6:6-7), just as they would provide for their clothing, shelter, and food. Teachers
minister to families by serving in the place of parents to offer academic instruction and, in cooperation with parents, to
model Christ-likeness.
- The Nature of the Student: Students are physical and
spiritual beings created by God in His image (Genesis 1:27; 2:7). They are sinners who need to accept God’s love
and express faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. Each one is a unique personality with a preferred learning style, and God
endows each with varying levels of academic, physical, and creative ability.
