Hackensack, NJ
Hackensack Christian School Preschool

"We believe that the Bible teaches that God establishes three institutions, family, church, and government. He has given the task of teaching and training children first to the family and secondly to the church. This implies that Biblically the government has no place in the education of Christian children, but is a ministry of God for good in the areas of health, fire, and safety in relations to the school. Furthermore, the Christian Day School is a ministry of the church itself and not an independent agency.

The purpose of Christian education is to provide an environment to direct the processes of human development toward God's objectives of godliness of character and conduct. The Christian school carries out those educational tasks that the family can not fulfill as efficiently or lacks the skills or resources to do as well as the school.

As a result of their educational efforts, the student who graduates from a Christian school should achieve a balance in mental development, physical development, emotional well being and social relationships. This balance is achieved by proper spiritual nurture, building upon a Biblical foundation of truth.

"God is revealed in His rational creation, man, who having been created in the image of God is the highest of God's works on earth. It is for this reason that the Christian school gives emphasis to the "humanities": the study of man's language, literature, artistic achievements, man's history, his logic in mathematical reasoning, and other forms of his personal and cultural expression." This includes the study of the natural world, God's creation. All of these in concert bring understanding and meaning for man to his purpose in this world. Man being God's creation, lives and grows to his potential best in the manner designed by God. God communicates to man through the Bible, through His Holy Spirit and through study of His creation.

Both by example and training, the Christian teacher seeks to educate each student to the extent of his capability, recognizing each pupil's uniqueness to prepare them for their particular area of service.

The school curriculum includes all those activities controlled by the school. These activities are chosen to build Christian character, achieve academic growth to individual potential, to make available physical and social activities.

The orchestration of learning experiences in school and cooperation with family and church produces Christian young men and women prepared to serve God and man with eternal values in view.
