Vision Statement
We aim to teach children to think clearly and listen carefully with discernment and understanding; to reason persuasively and articulate precisely; to evaluate their entire range of experience in the light of the Scriptures; and to do so with eagerness and joyful submission to God. We desire that they recognize cultural influences as distinct from biblical truths, and to be unswayed towards evil by the former. We aim to help them become well prepared in all situations, equipping them with information and the knowledge of how to use it. We desire that they be socially graceful and spiritually gracious, as they become equipped with and gain an understanding of the tools of learning; that they desire to grow in understanding, yet fully realize the limitations and foolishness of this world. We desire that they have a heart for unbelievers and the courage to seek to dissuade those who are stumbling toward destruction; that they distinguish real religion from religion in form only; and that they possess the former, knowing and loving the Lord Jesus Christ. Along with all these, we desire that they possess humility and gratitude to God.
We likewise aim to cultivate these same qualities in our staff. We desire that our staff be professional and diligent in their work, gifted in teaching, and loving toward their students and their subjects. We desire that they clearly understand classical education, how it works in their classroom, and how their work fits into the whole of classical education; that they possess a lifelong hunger to learn and grow; and that they have opportunities to be refreshed and renewed. We desire to see them coach and nurture new staff and to serve as academic and spiritual mentors to students. We look to see them mature in Christ, grow in the knowledge of God and see their own children walking with the Lord.
We aim to cultivate in our parents a sense of responsibility for the school and to see them well informed about the goals of our classical and Christ-centered approach. We desire that they grow with the school, being involved in and excited about the journey. We aim to help them follow Biblical principles in addressing concerns and embrace the Scripture’s injunctions to encourage and stir up one another to love and good works.
Finally, in our relationship with our community, we aim to be above reproach in our financial dealings. We further seek to exemplify the unity of the body of Christ, to develop greater fellowship and understanding among the churches, and to bring honor to our Lord in all our endeavors.
