Algoma Christian School Philosophy of Education

Based on our doctrinal statement, we believe that the philosophy of education must contain these points:

  1. God is the creator and sustainer of all things and the source of all truth.  Therefore, we believe the education process must base itself in God and the revelation of His Word (Romans 11:33-36).
  2. The Bible is the complete and final revelation of God concerning all matters of faith, truth, and practice, therefore, all teaching must consider the goals and commands of Scripture (John 17:17).
  3. The home is the God-given institution for the training of children.  Therefore, the school must be an extension of that home to assist the parents in the awesome responsibility of raising Christian children in a godless society (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
  4. Man, created by God as good, has by deliberate choice gone into sin and as such is destined for Hell.  God has intervened through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to provide those who commit themselves by faith to Him with eternal life, therefore, the school should teach Christ as the only way to a personal relationship with God (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23).
  5. The Holy Spirit reveals truth through the Bible and enables the individual to understand it.  Therefore, all those involved in the educational process must be dependent on Him (John 16:13).
