Philosophy of Education
The basis of our philosophy is belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ our Savior, the Holy Spirit and God’s Word – the Bible. We believe in the authority, authenticity, and reliability of the Bible as the complete and final revelation of God concerning all matters of faith, truth, and practice.
All of our goals and objectives are based on the Bible. These goals and objectives include:
1.To bring glory to God in all that we do.
(1Corintians 10:31)
2.To assure our students of their salvation.
(Matthew 28:19-20)
3.To promote the maturity of our students in doctrine and practice.
(Ephesians 6:4 & Colossians 1:28-29)
4.To train our students in Christian service and ministry. (2 Timothy 2:2)
We believe, and it is our conviction, that knowledge of the Bible and Jesus Christ is essential to the development and growth of the individual in physical, mental, social, and spiritual areas. All staff and faculty have a personal commitment to Jesus Christ. They will allow the Lord to minister through them by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The school is an extension of the family and also an extension of the church. In this capacity, we will promote this relationship of family, church, school, and members of the body of Christ.
We believe that our priorities and those we teach should be in the following order:
1.Christ
2.Family
3.School
