|
|
The student is a person created by God in His image; and, as such, should be treated with dignity, respect, sincerity, and love. Every child has his own pace of development and learning, and teachers must know the student to maximize the student's abilities and give support in overcoming weaknesses.

“The mind is not an empty sack to be filled with information” (Charlotte Mason). It is a living organ, with the ability and the desire to learn and discover. It must be nurtured with a rich variety of living ideas for meaningful learning, developing critical and creative thinking, and learning to learn with intrinsic motivation.

|
The goal of transformational education is the holistic training of the student to reach his potential, to continue learning, and to know and interact with the world that surrounds him.
|
In a school that operates from a Biblical worldview, every aspect of academic study and school life is viewed through the lens of the Bible..
