CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
What do we mean by a Christ-centered education?
At Promise Academy, we believe the chief goal and purpose of all things, including education, is to love God and love our neighbor. True education is literally impossible without such a transcendent goal and purpose.
“The idea of all education springing from and resting upon our relation to Almighty God is one which we have ever laboured to enforce. We take a very distinct stand upon this point. We do not merely give a religious education, because that would seem to imply the possibility of some other education, a secular education, for example. But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.”
CHARLOTTE MASON
There is an undeniable connection between the phenomenal growth of secular humanism in our day and the declining outcomes of our nation’s schools. The disintegration of a biblical worldview has relegated our city’s children to a lifetime of struggle.
“The decline in American public education is not due to poor teaching or lack of funding; it is due to educational theories that deny the existence of transcendent truth and morality, that renounce standards of excellence, and ultimately render children unteachable.”
CHUCK COLESON
The Bible teaches us that all knowledge comes from God. At Promise Academy, we teach all subjects as part of an integrated whole, with the Scriptures at the center. Students are equipped to know and love the truth and to utilize that knowledge to glorify God in all things.
