WHY A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?
The Bible says in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Christian schools such as Word of Faith Academy exist to assist parents in carrying out their God-given mission of ensuring that their children receive a solid spiritual and academic foundation. The following are some of the benefits of a Christian educational environment:
1. Christian schools extend the values taught in the Christian home environment.
Character is the foundation on which your child's future will be built, and there is no greater way to teach the precepts of character than through the Word of God. Children who attend Christian schools, those that are truly founded upon Christian principles, experience, at school, what is valued at home---a peaceful, loving environment in which Godly values are modeled, taught, and expected, each day and in each context.
Word of Faith Academy serves as an extension of the home environment, teaching Biblical concepts, principles, and values that are of immediate and practical use. These principles are incorporated into a rigorous academic program, in order to provide a well-balanced education for students. At Word of Faith Academy, faith is not separated from life and learning; it is evident here that the fear of the Lord is, indeed, the beginning of knowledge. (Proverbs 1:7)
2. Christian schools prevent premature exposure to Godless lifestyles and viewpoints.
Word of Faith Academy was established to meet Christian parents' need and request for an alternative schooling,
which prevents exposure to
Godless points of view and lifestyles before they are ready to successfully confront and resist these aspects of our society's culture. While it is inevitable that Christian children will eventually confront evidence of a fallen world, it is important that they receive proper preparation and grounding in order to increase their resistance to Satan's devices.
3. Christian schools model servant-leadership as an extension to their faith.
Jesus' lifestyle was marked by servitude, as made evident by His continual compassion on all mankind. The foundation of our Christian faith is based upon His life, and, as Christians, we are to emulate His ways. It is important that Christian children
inherit the faith of Jesus—a faith that reaches out to the world. To this end, the teachers and staff at Word of Faith Academy model giving and selfless service. Consequently, personnel work to instill this same selflessness into the lives of children by teaching love in action.
By choosing a Christian school, such as Word of Faith Academy, parents can ensure that their children know and understand what really matters: love for God and love for people!
4. Christian schools can accelerate student learning and achievement.
Because of the peaceful and focused environment of Christian schools, more time can be spent on teaching and learning, as severe discipline problems that plague alternative settings are non-existent. Due to the high level of focus, students receive more opportunities to learn, giving them a head start in life, and making their reception of their God-given roles possible.
