The ultimate objective of Christian education must serve to point
out the very purpose of life itself-that we exist to praise,
glorify, and please God, imperfectly in this life, but perfectly in
the next. Our objectives are that every child:
has a thorough knowledge and understanding of God's Word.
builds his/her life around faith in the Lord so that all
thoughts, words, and deeds exemplify the life of Christ.
is instructed, in every subject, to develop all the talents God
has given for his/her use in the world as he/she does all to the
glory of God.
is prepared through discipline-based instruction for the next
step of his/her education.
