Educational Philosophy

The Word of God is our final authority for faith and life. All truth is God's truth. Christian education is rooted in objective reality and absolutes, as opposed to relativism. Parents have been given the responsibility for the spiritual and intellectual training of their children. The school's role is to help them fulfill this responsibility. When students recognize the hand of God in history and in their lives, they desire to learn and work because there is purpose to life. We strongly believe that a right attitude and willingness to work can go far in building aptitude. 
        Clearly God commands us to teach our children about him every hour of every day. We believe that this can be better accomplished in a Christian school environment than in a public school environment. We read in God's word that we should not listen to instruction that will cause us to "...err from the words of knowledge." (Prov. 19:27) Many of our national and Christian leaders have recognized the impact a Godless education can have on a nation and its people

"I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt."
- Martin Luther

"The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next."
- Abraham Lincoln

"Withdraw from a child the only divine rule of life, and the result will most lamentable. An education purely secular is the handmaiden of Godless skeptics."
- Charles H. Spurgeon   

"There is no such thing as Christian education. There is only education! And education without a Biblical base is not education, but propaganda."
- Cal Thomas

"I'm going to say something now that.... I have never said before... in the state of California and places that have moved in the direction they have gone, if I had a child there, I would not put that child in public schools. I've been very careful not to be negative to the public schools... but given the fact that... they are being taught homosexual propaganda and these politically correct pot-modern views, I think it is time to get our kids out."
- James Dobson, Focus on the Family

"No doubt a major strategy devised by the enemy of the souls of men is to attack the heart of a free and biblically based nation - its schools. Such a strategy would target our young, because this is the major place where minds are formed in today's world.
"Benjamin Rush, a founding father and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, wrote that if the Bible is ever removed from schools, we would suffer from an explosion of crime! In our day, God, the Bible, and prayer have been replaced in our schools with handguns, drugs, and condoms. The results have been disastrous."
- Bill Bright, Founder and Chairman

 
"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon you hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
- Deut. 6:6-9
