Faith Christian Academy accepts the suggestions given in Paul Kienel’s “The philosophy of Christian School Education” for Bible based objectives of Christian Education.

Spiritual and moral growth:

·      To lead the pupil to a decision of confessing Christ as Savior and Lord.

·      To develop a desire to know and obey the will of God daily.

·      To impart an understanding of each Christian’s place in the church and its involvement in this task.

·      To encourage the development of self-discipline and responsibility in the student based on respect for and submission to God and another authority.

·      To help the student develop for himself a Christian world view by integrating life and studies with the Bible.

Personal and social development:

·      To help the student develop his personality based on a proper understanding and acceptance of himself as a unique individual created in the image of God and on the fullest possible development of his own capabilities.

·      To teach the students to treat everyone with love and respect since they, too, are made in God’s image.

·      To make the student a contributing member of his society, realizing his dependence on others and their dependence on Him, and the need to serve them.

·      To promote an understanding of time as a God-given commodity and the individual’s responsibility for effective use of time.

·      To impart the Biblical attitudes toward material things and to encourage individual responsibility to using them for God’s glory.

Academically:

·      To promote high academic standards, within the potential of the individual as uniquely created by God and to help the student realize his full academic potential.

·      To help each student gain a thorough comprehension and command of the fundamental processes used in communicating and dealing with others, such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

·      To teach and encourage the use of good study habits.

·      To teach the student how to do independent research and to reason logically.

·      To motivate the student to pursue independent study in areas of personal interest.

·      To promote good citizenship through developing the understanding and appreciation of our Christian and American heritages of responsible freedom, human dignity, and acceptance of authority.

·      To discuss current affairs in all fields and relate them to God’s plan for man.

·      To produce an understanding and appreciation for God’s world, and awareness of man’s role in his environment and his God-given responsibilities to use and preserve it properly.

·      To engender an appreciation of the fine arts through the development of the students understanding and personal expression.
