Educational Philosophy

We’re convinced that Christian education consists of much more than superficially wedging Bible classes and Bible verses into a basically secular academic curriculum. Our goal is to produce graduates whose entire schooling has been framed within a Christian worldview—a Christian lens or grid of ideas and values through which to see, evaluate, and act in all areas of life.

Since beliefs and conduct vis-à-vis ethics, politics, history, science, medicine, law, literature, aesthetics, the nature of man, and the very limits of knowledge all flow from one’s worldview, no institution can claim to have provided truly Christian education unless its students have gained an unmistakably Christian perspective in relation to all of these areas.

That, in a nutshell, is the formidable, unique vision that sets us apart from other educational choices. Furthermore, and without apology, we thus see our task in immense terms. Ours is the participation in an endeavor almost without peer. Destinies are at stake. Events in today’s classrooms make their mark not only on the next generation’s place in history but on each individual’s place in eternity.
