1.To provide education that is Christian.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in reighteousness so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (II Timothy 3:16-17)
Because God has given us absolute truth in His revelation, the Holy Scriptures, we teach math, science, social studies, art physical education, language - all subjects from a thoroughly biblical perspective.
2. To maintain regular communication with parents.
The elementary teacher use the homework slip and assignment book system to keep parents informed of homework and test schedules. All teachers communicate concerns to parents about behavior and character issues as they arise in the context of school life and will help parents guide their child with biblical counsel.
3. To encourage every student to begin and/or develop his relationship with God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ.
"Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God." (I Chronicles 22:19)
4. To encourage children to use their skills and abilities to live for His glory.
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (I Corinthians 10:31)
5. To teach distinctively Christian values.
"The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a disciplined and prudent life; doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to the simple; knowledge and discretion to the young - let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance - for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." (Proverbs 1:1-7)
Since the heart is the wellspring of life, the heart must be instructed in God's ways regardling all relationships. Character is developed by regular study and understanding of God's ways and truth.
6. To imitate Christ's servanthood in our staff.
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interest of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus." (Philippians 2:3-5)
