PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
The philosophy of Bible is to empower students through their understanding of the
Scriptures. Any study of the word of God must begin with Christ. We know that by Him
all things were made and in Him all things consist. In studying Christ we learn that it is
not what we do that determines who we are, but who we are determines what we do. Our
identity and worth is revealed as our knowledge of Christ expands. His truth gives us
freedom to apply who we are to our education, relationships, and in all life’s situations.

Date of revision: 4/6/09
PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
The philosophy of Math is to empower students to thoroughly subdue and rule over all
that exists in God’s creation. Students discover the orderliness of this field of study as
they are shown that they live in a world designed by an intelligent, loving Creator. Each
2
child discovers his place in Creation as he comes to realize that his sense of worth comes
from God. Mathematics conveys a sense of the consistency of God, that God and His
Word can be trusted. When students come to understand that their created purpose is to
give God glory in all things, they will discover that certain aspects of God's glory are
revealed best through mathematics. The pursuit of academic excellence in mathematics
becomes a mandate as they seek to obey God's commands to “subdue the earth”, fulfill
the Great Commission by harnessing technology for godly purposes, and to live a selfless
life of service to God and others.

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
The philosophy of History is to empower students with a Biblical worldview of God’s
interaction with mankind. History is a systematic study, and careful report, of some
portion of human experience, in which an attempt is made to understand the interrelationships and relative significance of the components of that experience, all with a
view to a better understanding of human behavior, character, and destiny. The study of
history should include a comprehensive and intensive interaction with major events,
developments, patterns, and themes throughout the period, culture, or location at hand,
keeping ever before the student both the change and the continuity to be evaluated in said
study. As an educational discipline within the framework of a Biblical worldview,
historical study rests upon the premise of a three-fold nature of history; namely, that it is
intelligible, that it is meaningful, and that it is teleological. Understanding such, the
student should be both challenged and encouraged to make the greatest personal
contribution to the playing out of history possible.
COURSE GOALS:

recall important events, identify famous leaders, recognize contributions to science,

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:
The philosophy of Science is to empower students through the comprehension of
scientific facts and concepts that exists as a part of God's perfect creation. Students will
understand that God's word determines the laws of science (Job 9). An understanding of
science will aid in the quality of mankind. Students will also be able to identify the
purpose of exploring science to fulfill God's will for healing (Matt. 26:11) through the
materials He has provided (Gen. 1:28). As a result, they will gain self-worth through the
uplifting of His kingdom (Gen. 1:27). Finally, with Christ first and a sense of self-regard,
students will take pride in their academic excellence in science. They will understand all
tasks are possible with the help of God and God's power is clearly shown through
scientific achievements.
