Philosophy of Education

Christian Life Academy believes that the Biblical directive to humanity is not just avoid error, but to exercise dominion over the earth (Gen. 1:28). For this reason, we believe that wherever a biblical perspective has been lost or left undeveloped in any area of life including academics, it must be brought into conformity with the teachings of Scripture. We believe that the correct understanding of all wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord and the correct appropriation of knowledge comes through the lens of His Word, the Bible. (Ps. 111:10, Ps. 119)

Our Christian education perspective then is to teach and train toward a Biblical worldview. We also believe it was the whole man who fell into sin, becoming wholly defiled in every part of soul and body, and it is the whole man that needs to be redeemed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:23; 1 Thess. 5:23). For this reason we believe we should be concerned with the training of the whole child and the study of his whole world.

Christian Life Academy will purpose to develop the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social needs of its students (Luke 2:52). We desire to accommodate the individual differences of development and to challenge each child to his/her fullest God-given potential. Because we recognize that the primary responsibility for the education of children rests with their parents (Eph. 6:4), Christian Life Academy seeks to work closely with the parents to instill into its students the standards for life and learning that are consistent with the Scriptures and which result in Christ-like character. We also believe the church was given by God to help families and individuals carry out these spiritual responsibilities. We endeavor to act in partnership with the home and the church for the training and equipping of the child to impact and change the world for Jesus Christ.
