Educational Objectives

Strengthening children’s lives and character through excellence in Christian education.

RELATIONSHIP TO GOD

To teach on a consistent daily basis, in a practical and relevant manner, not only as a separate class but also intermingled as part of the ordinary way of living, talking, thinking, and acting, the infallibility of the Word of God, the teachings concerning God, Jesus, man’s fall, the need for personal redemption through faith in the atoning work of Jesus, and the role of the Holy Spirit to enable a person to live the Christian life.  To deepen the students’ awareness of God’s part in all of creation and their responsibility to live in harmony with God’s will which includes the maintenance and preservation of God’s creation.

INDIVIDUALITY

To impress upon each student that they have been created by God and given special abilities by Him; they are very special persons for whom God has a special purpose.

ETHICS

To teach the students that we as Christians live by standards that do not change even though circumstances and society’s values change.  Right will always remain right and wrong will stay wrong; that lying, stealing, cheating, immorality, murder, anger, revenge, etc. are not acceptable modes of conduct and will destroy individuals and nations as warned in God’s Word.

To ensure that students realize selfish pleasures must be equated with the teachings found in God’s Word.  They need to realize how it affects their personal relationship with God, family, society and eternity and that they are responsible and accountable for their actions.

To instill in each student a system of work ethics and skills that will enable them to succeed in their future occupations and enable them to have an uplifting, preserving influence in society, and a sense of well-being concerning themselves.

ACADEMICS

To ensure that basic competence in communication and functional computation is a standard and to encourage the development of academic skills for post-elementary education.

To ensure that the students transferring from the Christian School to the secular system would have had a superior training; that they would be competent with modern technology being provided in the public school system.

To ensure that the knowledge and skills received would be translated into wisdom.

DISCIPLINE

To endeavour to use discipline that would allow outward control of a young student, to grow and become an inward control in the adolescent.  It is the conforming of a child to proper behavior not because of fear of peer influences but from applying the principles of God.  The discipline becomes wrapped up in Christ—like love.

THE HOME

To impress to the student God’s plan for the total family and to assist the student with their role within the family unit to recognize that the parents will provide a perspective of each child that is only seen at home.  The parents need to understand the same will be true of the school.  Working together on a student’s development plan will strengthen the student, build a supportive role between the school and the home and in general will set a Christian example in the community.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDENT

To have a total program that is pupil related, a system of proper assessment and evaluation in place.  The philosophy of the school must be tangibly seen in moulding and nurturing young lives.
