School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"God is the ultimate reason, source, and authority of all the natural and spiritual creation. (John 1:1-4; Rev. 4:11; Gen. 1-2; Rom. 11:36; Col. 1:16, 17; Psa. 8)

God is objective, ultimate truth. True wisdom, meaning, knowledge, values, and understanding are determined only in accordance with God's truth as given by His Word. Therefore, true and proper education has God and His Word as the foundation and governing principle throughout, with God's truths presented. All subject matter is to be taught in conformity with His Word and all principles interpreted through God's Word. (Deut. 32:4; John 14:6; Psa. 104:24, 147:5)

God made man in His own image and gave him dominion over all the earth, and the responsibility of man is to fear God and obey and glorify Him. Children are a gift from God, and God, having established the home, has charged the parents with the responsibility for the education of their children. In view of the God-ordained separation of church and state, some parents have voluntarily delegated some aspects of the process of the education of their children to the church educational ministry. (Gen. 1:26-28, 2:7, 19; Eccl. 12:13, 14; Psa. 127:3; I Samuel 1:27; Ephesians 6:4)
