Philosophy of Education

Amazed by the Savior, and guided by God’s Word, we seek to develop…

• Passionate students who experience the love of God and respond by loving Him, loving others, and loving the truth.
• Wise students who, through an ever-deepening understanding of God’s grace, embrace God’s ways for living.
• Clear-minded and articulate students who engage culture with a biblical worldview and persuasive proclamation of the gospel both here and, if God leads, around the world.
• Fruitful students who faithfully steward their gifts and mature into disciple-makers themselves.

We pursue these goals with the understanding that our students are both made in God’s image and are sinners in need of a Savior.  Folly is indeed bound up in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15). Yet salvation Jesus Christ has been made available, and is appropriated by faith alone. Through the new birth and the sanctifying work of the Spirit, they can put sin to death and bring God great pleasure. This motivates us to be patient with them and encourage them daily.

Without minimizing sin, we strive to magnify grace in the gospel.

Under the parents’ delegated authority, our Christian teachers seek to guide students to think and live according to Scripture. We strive to model a love for God and the church -- both local and universal, as well as a love for learning God's truth wherever we find it.  

We view our students as individuals with unique gifts and needs. Without merely entertaining, we seek to make knowledge attractive through a range of age-appropriate teaching methods and resources.

We strive to provide an environment where biblical standards for student appearance, conduct, character, and academic achievement are maintained and encouraged.
