What does Dr. Black mean when she says the Christian school is important in raising a generation that is more than just competent cognitively?
-
While academics are very important, we must keep the end goal in mind. Our students need to remember that Earth is not their permanent home.
-
The Christian school should aim to help children develop in spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and physically so as to prepare them for their callings in the present world and eternally.

Of course, we need to deal with our students on a scholastic level, but what will ultimately prepare them for life is the strength of their ability to judge right from wrong. Students become citizens of the kingdom of God. They are able to influence other like their parents and other family members for the Kingdom of God. Also raising up a strong generation of believers of Christ. Helping others and children understand that our whole world belongs to God. Teaching them to stay close to God through it all and Thank God for everything because everything is a gift from God.

We are teaching the next generation. We can give them the knowledge, but to model the love of Jesus and have a Biblical worldview is how changes in our world get made.

Apart from students being competent cognitively they are also to be competent in every area of their life.
