Elementary students in action
Our educational philosophy
We combine experiential learning with differentiated instruction to meet students’ unique needs – in elementary school and beyond.
All truth is God’s truth. As we develop students with hearts impassioned to love God, minds disciplined to think Biblically, and hands prepared to serve, we seek to share and awaken them to all of God’s truth. Since God is Creator of ALL things, we believe education in every subject should reflect the excellence of our Lord and, at every turn, be integrated with the truth of His Word. As Christ-followers, our school community is marked by joy; we value joy, and we teach children to become joy spreaders. As such, days are filled with praise and celebration, love of learning, and delight in God’s Word and the beauty of the created world.
We understand that education is not mere information. In today’s culture, facts are always at our fingertips. Thus, we must teach our children so much more than isolated facts -- we need to foster skills, particularly the ability to think critically and think Biblically about information. How they differentiate truth from fiction, how they assimilate ideas, synthesize and analyze them, and use them as catalysts to develop their understanding of God’s world -- this is what allows them to take hold of the Gospel of Christ, develop a Biblical worldview, and share Christ’s love in an increasingly hostile world.
Elementary school students develop a passion to worship God and demonstrate knowledge. They learn to thoughtfully interact with great literature. They learn to write effectively and speak articulately.
