OUR
PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
We
believe that all of life, including education, is to center around Christ
and His Word. We recognize the presence of Scriptural absolutes in the
search for truth, the establishment of principles, the government of
human life, and the design of morality.
Children
need consistent training in character development. Parents are responsible
and accountable to supervise the educational process of their children.
Tutorial instruction, which personalizes the teaching according to the
childs needs, is preferred. As parents become learners along with
their children, there will be increased motivation and strengthening
of the family unit through mutual commitment.
Home education
is the best environment to:
1. Develop family relationships in order to learn how to be sensitive
and helpful to those outside the family;
2.
Emphasize socialization with adults and all age levels of society rather
than exclusively with peers;
3. Integrate all age levels daily- older students gain experience through
teaching the younger ones; younger students benefit from being exposed
to the training which the older ones receive;
4. Achievement through establishing goals for application is more important
than simply covering material;
5. Evaluate learning by recognition of achievement and productive capability,
not only by the assignment of grades.
