A Christian philosophy of education is like a lighthouse in a foggy cove. The world can offer various alluring things, without knowing Jesus and God’s truths, one can quickly and easily blow in the wind, ending up in the wrong spot. As we are asked to bring children up in the way they should go, we want to follow biblical truths to guide our students.

Teachers teach through the philosophical lens that they predicate their personal understanding of their being, purpose, and mission on. For example, if a teacher believes that they evolved, they do not teach creation with credibility nor are they able to back up creation with any substantive material from credible sources such as CMI or the Creation Institute. They are not able to teach how a Christian should look at the world or interpret events around them in a Biblical manner.
