Our Christian Foundation |

|
The basis for all Christian education is the biblical fact that God is
sovereign over all things and that man was created to glorify and enjoy
Him. True education enables students to think God's thoughts after Him
and to love Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. It is
the inerrant and authoritative Word of God which allow us to see God's
world as it really is, mankind fallen into sin, unable to save itself,
and in need of redemption which Christ alone can give. We do not,
therefore, simply add Bible classes to an essentially secular
curriculum. But as a Christian school, we seek to have the light of
God's Word permeate every subject and every activity and to teach our
students to think and behave as Christians.
Our Christian
commitment encourages excellence throughout our academic program, for
in all we do we desire to bring praise to God. We offer a curriculum
that is rich in liberal arts and tradition in methodology, one which
opens growth opportunities for our students and puts them on a path
toward high education. In that pursuit our students have consistently
attained high results based on nation-wide standardized tests.
While
our curriculum builds upon the sure foundation of the Bible, it also
draws deeply from our past. It reflects the appreciation we have to God
for our Western Civilization and the history, culture, literature, art,
and science which it has produced. We also want our students to develop
a deep love for acquiring knowledge, and so we try to impart the
necessary tools they will need to continue learning after the teaching
stops.
This is possible only when our students have submitted
themselves to Jesus Christ and acknowledged the claims which He makes
on their lives. Our teachers pray that they will be used to bring every
student who does not have a relationship with God the Father into such
a relationship through Christ. In that way they, together with those
who already know the Lord, may be encouraged to develop that
relationship through the Christian education they receive. |
