Faith Statement
We believe...
- There is only one true God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and who is the Sovereign Creator of the entire universe.
- The Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God, authoritative in all matters of faith and life.
- All men are sinners and totally unable to save themselves. Only by faith in Jesus Christ can anyone receive eternal life.
- Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who became man, lived, died, and rose again to atone for the sins of all those who trust in Him alone for their salvation.
- God the Holy Spirit gives Christians the daily strength and wisdom to live according to His will and to grow in holiness.
Excerpts from the Society By-Laws
Article I: Basis & Purpose
The Supreme Standard of this Society for elementary and secondary education shall be the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which is the Word of God. This is expressed in the historic creeds of the Reformation (which defines our understanding of the origin, authority and sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures). The purpose of this Society is to promote the advancement of Christian Education for its own sake, and to maintain a school for the daily instruction of children, with such instruction in accordance with Article II (below). Directed toward the end that those children may occupy their places worthily in society, church and state.Article II: Education Statement of Principles
Believe that the Lord God, by graciously giving us the Scriptures, has revealed to His people certain principles intensely relevant to education, we confess:Life
Human life in its entirety is religion. This means that we must serve God in every area of our life, in obedience and out of thankfulness. We are also required to direct the training of our children accordingly.Bible
The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God;- It enlightens our understanding,
- It directs our life and all our activities,
- It reveals the origin of man and of all creation,
- It is the key to knowledge of God, of ourselves and of the world, and
- Its truth must form the basis of all curriculum and disciplines taught to our children.
God and Creation
God has created all things. He preserves His creation, and He continues to manifest His power and dominion in the cosmos. The ultimate purpose of creation is to glorify His name.Christ
The Christ of the Scriptures, the Word of God incarnate, reconciles the world to God, redeems our life in its entirety, restores our fellowship with God and our neighbour, and renews our mind to rightly know God, ourselves, and the world in which we live.The Holy Spirit
The evidence of Christ's presence in our life is the work of the Holy Spirit. Our children must be made aware that the presence of God the Father, and the saving work of Christ, through the working of the Holy Spirit, remains with them always, also in their educational environment. It inspires and enables us to do God's will and to seek His glory in all things.Man and Sin
Man is created in the image of God, who also established a covenantal relationship with believers and their children. This requires us to reflect the excellencies of our Creator and to serve Him in loving obedience. Man, by disobeying God's law and forsaking His purpose, estranged himself from God and his neighbour, and brought God's curse upon the creation. As a result, fallen man has become blind to the true meaning of life, and misuses and represses the knowledge of God which confronts him in creation and in Scripture.The Kingdom of God
In God's Kingdom, the rule of Jesus Christ over all things is established; therefore it makes the acquisition of all knowledge possible and meaningful. Since we must subject every thought in obedience to Christ, we then reject any attempt to withdraw any aspect of life from the Divine commandment to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind. We will constantly endeavor to express and apply this Kingdom Vision in all disciplines of learning.Purpose of School Education
The purpose of education at this school is:- To attain to understanding, wisdom and righteousness, and so to instill in the child an awareness of God's presence in his life.
- To provide the child with skills and understanding of himself, his relationship to God, to others and to the world around him, and to faithfully serve the Lord in all areas.
- To provide learning experiences suitable to the needs and abilities of each child.
- To achieve excellence in all endeavors, in accordance with the talents that God has provided each child.
