1. God --That all proper
knowledge has its source in God, as manifested in Jesus Christ. That
scripture is the source of the organizational structure and fundamental
principles of each field of knowledge.
2. Mankind -- Man, being created
in God's image and enlightened by the Holy Spirit, is able to gain knowledge
of God's creation. Because the God-given nature of man is inseparable
from his emotional, intellectual and physical nature, the school is committed
to the total development of its students.
3. Faith and Learning --
All truth is from God, who has chosen to reveal Himself and His truth to
us. Knowledge of God is the proper setting for all understanding.
Reason exercised in the framework of a faith commitment to God will nurture
our faith and expand our knowledge. For the Christian, faith and learning
are inseparable.
4. Christian Calling -- The
Christian purpose in life is to glorify God, to be stewards of His creation,
to server God and others, to bear witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
and to influence society, culture and the church by supplication of Christian
thought and service in all dimensions of human endeavor. God has
given different abilities to each person, and He expects a student to perform
in proportion to his abilities.
5. Academic Pursuit -- God's
eternal Word is the ultimate source and foundation of all truth.
Since we recognize that all truth comes from God, we can confidently encourage
sincere intellectual exploration of diverse views. Both students
and teachers may raise honest questions and seek answers to them without
reluctance.
6. Parents and Church -- The responsibility
for the educational and Christian development of each child belongs to
the parents. It is therefore the fundamental responsibility off the
family to train and educate the child. The Christian School should
function as an extenuation of both the Christian home and the Christian
church. It is therefore, the school's role to supplement and complement
the home and church - never to supplant, subvert or replace them.
