The home is the center of God’s master plan for educating children.  The Bible clearly points out that the responsibility of education rests upon the father.  Deuteronomy 6:5-9 says that the father, being the head of the home, is to both formally (teach) and informally (talk) instruct his children throughout the day (sitting, walking, lying down, and rising up).  In the days of old, this was probably easier because a child would usually learn the trade of the father, and they would spend much time together.  In today’s culture, however, it is difficult to find enough time to eat together, let alone sufficient time to teach children what they need to know to live contented and satisfying lives and most importantly to lead them to Christ and abundant life.  Nevertheless, that Biblical principle still remains and “Dad” is still responsible for the education of his children.

In the early years of Christianity, the Church wisely started the Christian school for the purpose of educating children in academic as well as spiritual truths.  This action certainly helped the family because the school could specialize in areas that the father may not have known about.  But, unfortunately, two sad things gradually happened.  First, many parents began abdicating their responsibility for training their children by assuming the school would do it; and second, very subtly, public schools were taken over, at times, with atheistic humanists at the helm and they secularized education.  Consequently, the teaching of Christianity, morality, and character building were no longer a part of education, and most schools degenerated academically as well.  It  remains true that our lifestyles demand a good education, our culture demands a school, and our heavenly Father commands us to instruct our children daily in His ways and to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Christian school is termed the Church-in-Action during the week.  The Christian school is never meant to take the parents’ place in educating children.  But as a body of believers, the staff and teachers want to work together with parents in this very serious business of rearing children to love God, and to equip them to serve Him and their fellowman.

Christian education is structured around God, and His Word.  Education without God is limited in that it sees only what is here and now. An education that is Christian reveals that true reality originates with God, not man, and is spiritual and eternal, not material and temporal.

The truth here is that everything is revelatory of and has a relationship to God.  Man, therefore, has a responsibility to God, about whom all else revolves. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, Proverbs 1:7, and wisdom, Psalms 111:10.

Truth cannot be divided into secular and sacred but "all truth is God's truth”.  There are no secular studies, for every academic discipline originated, and was brought into existence by an all-knowing and all-wise God.  Therefore, truth must be taught from God's perspective as recorded in His word.

Christian education is "impression" of truths carried out in "expression" of activities. Students must be challenged to explore, analyze, question, and discover in order to develop minds well prepared for the essential skills of problem solving and decision-making.  They must be taught to integrate the pursuit of knowledge with spiritual values in order to produce a well-rounded individual who will not be corrupted by the philosophies of men, but learn to think creatively and independently, and to logically assimilate and apply information.

A Christian education is a life-long process. Every child is born with a desire to “know” and seek out answers to who, what, where, when, why and how. This natural curiosity will either be stifled or stimulated in the years that follow. Students must be encouraged to use their minds and powers of reasoning. They must learn to explore, test, and discover through the Language Arts what is true and good in the thoughts of writers and philosophers throughout the ages and be able to communicate ideas effectively... to examine History as the unfolding of God's plan and providence in the affairs of mankind and how the principles set forth by God are the most successful basis for civilization . . to experience through Science and Mathematics that God has created and ordained an orderly and precision universe which can be examined, understood, systematized, and subdued.. to learn through the Fine and Performing Arts how to release and channel individual creativity to bring beauty and blessing into the lives of those with whom they come in contact... to understand through Physical Education and Athletics that they are “fearfully and wonderfully made" and to experience “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat”, and ultimately through team-competition, unity, sense of purpose and confidence, but in all learn to discipline and dedicate their bodies to the glory of Christ.

A Christian education can only be accomplished in an atmosphere that encourages the development of a firm and adequate values system. Students are both consciously and subconsciously seeking a workable foundation on which to build their lives. Therefore, students must be guided into developing that foundation on the firm and unshakable principles found in the Word of God.  The goal is that each student will see themselves as unique individuals created in the image of God, with a purpose in life, and will be challenged to take life's problems head-on with confidence in the security of God’s Word.
