-
• Engaging, daily chapel school-wide which is representative of the ongoing commitment to focus our hearts and minds on Christ.
-
• Embedding the word of God in the hearts of students through an intentional and systematic approach to scripture memorization.
-
• An age appropriate understanding of apologetics that prepares students to thoughtfully defend their faith and compare their beliefs to other world views encountered in high school and beyond.
-
• Understanding the meta-narrative of the Bible: Creation, Fall, Redemption and Consummation.
-
• Curriculum resources that tie together the work toward this goal and equip teachers to be prepared to guide their students and thus provide the school with a standardized approach that extends beyond individual teacher preferences and is sustainable over time and personnel changes.
-
• Study of Biblical passages and stories that support a comprehensive 9 year approach rather than repeating favorite Bible stories in each grade or being dependent on individual teacher style or preferences. Again, an explicit and systematic plan.
-
• Approaching Bible instruction as an academic class more so than a small group study, accountability group or daily devotional time.
