Biblical Education Philosophy
Since the Bible is the Word of Life, it is the core of our academics. We teach the Bible as the complete guidebook and pathway to know and obey God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Our Biblical instruction includes both knowledge and application of the heart, head, and hands to produce the life changing commitments in each student.
Scriptures: Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 32:46-47, Psalms 119:9-16, Proverbs 22:6, John3:16, II Timothy 2:15 & 3:16
Language Arts Philosophy
The study of language arts is based on the truth that God is the Supreme Communicator. He has given us the gift of language, which we can use to communicate effectively with others. It is important for the students to be able to communicate their beliefs both written and orally. The art of listening is also critical in understanding the world God created.
Scriptures: John 1:1, 1Peter 3:15, Proverbs 13:17, Matthew 28:20, Acts 2:6-8
Reading Philosophy
We teach reading so that students will be equipped to independently study God’s Word and world. Reading enables students to research information and verify the truth. Through a study of literature, the students will learn to critically interpret the written word from a Christian worldview.
Scriptures: II Timothy 3:16, Nehemiah 8:2-3
Mathematics Philosophy
Using biblical truths, mathematics is taught to demonstrate the order of God’s creation by learning the theory and use of an infinite numbering system, developing analytical thinking and problem solving skills, and fostering higher order thinking skills of upper level mathematics such as pre-algebra and algebra.
Scriptures: Genesis 1-2, 6-8 & 13:16, 22:17-18, 32:12, Matthew 25:14-30, I Corinthians 14:33 & 40
Science Philosophy
Science teaching begins with the fundamentals built around God’s creation. This provides students with an understanding of how the universe was created by God. He set the natural laws in motion at the point of creation and continues to exercise His providence over the creation, using mankind as His instrument.
Scriptures: Genesis 1-3, Job 38-41, Psalm 8, 19:1-6, 24:1-2, 139:13-16, Isaiah 45:12, John 1:1-3, Romans 1:20, Hebrews 11:3 & 6
Social Studies Philosophy
The intention of social studies is for students to recognize that God is the author and mover of all history. God’s plan for the world and mankind began at creation and continues into the future. Social studies demonstrate man’s lost condition and God’s sovereignty over all. Social studies investigate man’s relationship to other humans and man’s relationship to God.
Scriptures: Psalms 47:2-8, Psalms 66:7, II Chronicles 7:14, Genesis 9:1, Deuteronomy 4:39, Proverbs 13:24, Romans 13:1-2, Romans 8:28-29, Jeremiah 29:11
Physical Education Philosophy
Physical education instruction provides students with the arts and skills necessary to develop and preserve the body and mind that God has created. The program helps the students to understand the close and interdependent relationship between good physical and mental health. The students will study and learn the effects of exercise, nutrition, and chemical use on the body. The goal of this education is to help the students understand, appreciate, and properly care for their bodies as the temples of the Holy Spirit.
Scriptures: I Corinthians 6:19-20, Proverbs 3:-7-8, III John 2
Spanish Education Philosophy:
The study of Spanish is based on the truth that God is the Supreme Communicator. He has given us the gift of language, which we can use to effectively communicate and minister to others. It is important for the students to be able to bilingually communicate their beliefs in both written and oral form, to reach as many people as possible for Christ.
The teaching of Spanish also fosters a greater cultural awareness and worldview for our students.
Scriptures: Genesis 10:5; Genesis 11:6; Daniel 1:4; Acts 2:6-8
Technology Mission Statement
Technology is taught to demonstrate the order of God’s creation. He has given us the gift of technology, which is a tool that we can use to effectively organize information. It is important for the students to be able to create, access, and produce information to better communicate and serve others for Christ.
Scriptures: Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 4:29; Revelation 4:11
