Our educational philosophy, therefore, includes the following convictions:

• The major theme of the Scriptures is redemption through the atoning work of Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 1:1-2)
• Education should be geared to meet the needs of the total person - spiritual, physical, psychological, and social. (Luke 2:52).
• Schools should work together with the home and the church in bringing up children in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4)
• The individual is responsible for his attitudes and actions toward divinely appointed authority - parental, governmental, educational, and others.
• God creates each individual with unique characteristics and abilities, providing a specific design for each one. (Ephesians 2:10)
• Educational programs should be structured to provide opportunities for the practical application of classroom knowledge gained in daily life. (Proverbs 3:5-6; Deuteronomy 6:7-9)
  
• The teacher plays a significant role in setting a proper example or model for students in moral, social, and spiritual conduct. (Philippians 3:17; 4:9)
  
• Our body is meant to be the temple of the Holy Spirit and our responsibility is to develop a wholesome respect for our physical well being through personal hygiene, physical development, and avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and addictive drugs. (1 Corinthians 6: 19-20)
  
• God created the earth for the benefit of mankind and that we are meant to be careful stewards of its resources. (Genesis 1:28; Psalm 24:1)

Spiritually, Midwestern Christian Academy adheres to the following Statement of Faith:

• We believe in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as inspired of God and inerrant in the original writings and that they are of supreme and final authority in faith and life.
  
• We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man.
  
• We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all that believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood and resurrection.
  
• We believe that man was created in the image of God; that he sinned and thereby incurred not only physical death but also spiritual death which is separation from God; and all who reach moral responsibility become sinners in thought, word, and deed.
  
• We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into heaven, and in His present life there for us, as High Priest and advocate.
  
• We believe in "that blessed hope," the personal, premillenial, and imminent return of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
  
• We believe that all who receive the Lord Jesus Christ by faith are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God.
  
• We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust, in the everlasting happiness of the saved, and the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost.
  
• We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion in water of the believer "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost" to show forth in a solemn and beautiful emblem our faith in the crucified, buried, and risen Savior, with its effect, our death to sin and resurrection to a new life.
  
• We believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial service and is the setting forth in a sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ on our behalf.
  
• We believe that we should be separated unto the person and service of our Lord and separated from worldly practices and all appearances of evil which tend to draw a Christian away from the things of God and detract from a separated Christ-centered life; however, abstention from worldly practices can never be a substitute for positive devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ.
