A Christian school has a responsibility to Christian society and also to its community.  To the first, our program must train our children in an atmosphere of academic excellence to conform to the image of Christ.  To the second, our program must harmonize with the community’s system of education in such a way that our grades cover approximately, where possible, the same segment of academic material, keeping students who transfer from encountering problems.  This becomes the “minimum” for the Christian school.

Having been given the responsibility by God to nurture and instruct children, we believe that God’s ultimate purpose for man should be our basic principle as we seek to develop each individual to his fullest capacity, spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically.  We believe this ultimate goal to be to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (I Cor. 10:31; Eccl. 12:13).  The following items help to express this goal:

·         To ground each child in the fundamental doctrines.

·         To give every child ample exposure to realize the necessity of personal salvation and opportunity to accept Christ as Lord and Savior.  It should be understood that all salvation is an act of God and therefore should not be forced.

·         To seek the application of scriptural principles to all aspects of living.  The necessity of personal communion by means of prayer, Bible meditation, and worship should be seen as key elements in spiritual growth.

·         To develop in the child cooperation, consideration, and responsibility toward one another.  To make him aware of each others’ needs, feelings, and differences.  To foster in him a love for the other through helping a student to become more totally well-rounded and adjusted.

·         To help the child develop the ability to utilize basic academic skills.

·         To develop in every child an awareness of the world in which we live by giving him an understanding of the culture, beliefs, and social customs of people throughout the world.  In doing so, to show man’s relationship to God as put forth in Romans 1, 2, and 3, and lay the foundation concerning the methods of relating and communicating effectively and clearly the Gospel.

·         To guide in the acquisition and utilization of accumulative subject matter.

·         To develop in the child self-discipline and self-motivation toward learning and other aspects of life.
