In order for an educational program to be academically sound and instructionally
effective, it must be founded upon Christian education principles that recognize
the true nature of God, of truth, of knowledge, and of Man. Implicit in education is
these basic truths:

• Man was created in God’s image (Gen. 1:26-27)
• Education involves the total being: Spiritual, intellectual, physical and social. (Prov. 9:9)
• Each person is unique with individual potential, talents and needs. (Rom.12:3-8)
• The educational experience must involve the development of Christian beliefs, attitudes and skills directed into faithful application.
• A foundation of Bible truth will be an inseparable part of the educational process. Christian concepts will be unified with and inseparable from the  academic studies.
• Youth need a steady influence while preparing to live in a complex society. Only the Bible has the answers to man’s needs and longings, and therefore serves as final authority on all issues.

 Parents are commanded by God to educate their children. Children are gifts from 
God (Psalms 127:3), parents are responsible to “Train up” their children in the 
way of the Lord and not in the ways of the world (Prov. 22:6, Eph. 6:4). God’s 
people are told, “Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen... For the
customs of the people are vain...” (Jer. 10:2-3) Prov. 19:27 states: “Cease, my
son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.” It is
obvious that God has been very careful to instruct and warn parents as to the
type of education a child is to receive.

 In His wisdom God has ordained three basic institutions: the family, the church, 
and the governments. In fulfilling parental responsibility for the education of
children, the family usually seeks help from one of these institutions outside the
home. Since there is no Biblical basis for the state to be involved in education,
the creation of a Christian school under the direction of the Church serves as an
extension of the home in assisting the parents in fulfilling their Christian
responsibility to “train up” their children.
