Therefore:
- We treat all of nature, as well as our own bodies, with respect and awe.
- We see every child as a unique creation of God, endowed with special gifts.
- We serve God's purpose by loving God above all and our neighbors as ourselves.
- We see the universe as a book that reveals God's creative order.
- We see history as the unfolding of God's plan and providential care.
- We see culture and society as broken and in need of healing.
- We train students to be "salt and light" in a troubled world.
- We believe the Bible to be God's special revelation of Himself and the basis of all meaningful knowledge and wisdom.
- We consider parents responsible for the education and discipline of their children.
- We believe the parent-church-school educational model to be the strongest method of training the whole child - body, mind, and spirit - to serve God in this world and in the world to come.
