*For simplification, the male pronoun
has been used, but our intent is to include male and female equally.
First Assembly Christian School is an academic
institution which is God-ordained and Spirit led. An environment
is provided where the individual pupil can come to know Jesus Christ,
mature spiritually, and achieve academic excellence. Each student
is directed toward the acquisition of knowledge and skills as well
as the pursuit of worthy interests, ideas, and attitudes essential
for Christian maturity. The educational philosophy of the school
centers around the development of the complete individual: spiritually,
mentally, physically, and socially. We are preparing children now
for skills, knowledge, and values they will need in 20 years.
The entire process of education is seen as
a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring the student into fellowship
with God, to develop a Christian mind in him, and to train and model
for him Godly living; so that he can fulfill God’s total purpose
for his life personally and vocationally, he must be taught the
Bible so he may understand God as well as his own nature and role
in God’s image.
He must learn to see all truth as God’s
truth and to integrate it with and interpret it by God’s Word:
He must be educated as an individual with his own unique abilities
and personality who must learn to live and work with others at home,
in the church, and in a changing secular society; and he must interact
with and be taught by parent and teacher models who are, themselves,
born again and have this perspective on life.
The authority for such an education
comes both from God’s command that children be taught to love
God and place Him first in their lives and from the fact that parents
are responsible for the total education and training of their children.
At the parent’s request, the Christian school, along with
the church, becomes a partner in giving this education.
