Our educational focus, 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)
  
• The educational program should be structured to provide opportunities for the practical application in daily life of classroom knowledge gained. (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)
