| WHY CONSIDER A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL?
In the area of academics, students at Christian schools consistently out-perform their public school counterparts. One reason for that is Christian students have a higher percentage of teachers who genuinely care about them. Most of these dedicated men and women sacrifice greater monetary rewards to serve where they can do the most intrinsic good. With smaller student-to-teacher ratios, Christian schools can almost always offer more individual attention than public schools. Safety is another benefit received from Christian schools as they provide a safer place for your children to receive an education. While not devoid of problems, they are far less likely to occur, and far more likely to be met with firm disciplinary action. Perhaps most importantly, we are mandated to saturate our children’s minds with the Word of God (Deuteronomy 6:4-10) and it is virtually impossible to do that in a public school setting. Our children can spend 30 to 40 hours a week being taught from a Biblical worldview that promotes and encourages a closer relationship with God or be in a setting where they are told that God, if He exists at all, is no longer relevant. We seek to equip children with the tools to understand and worship God. In growing up to know who they are in Christ, these children are well prepared to live an “abundant life,” productive and positive. We, therefore, commit ourselves to providing excellence in education, with the further goal of recognizing and teaching God’s love and claim upon our lives. |

| CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOUNDATIONS
God is known as He reveals Himself in His Word. In an effort to encourage students to know Him, Bible class is taught on a daily basis. All subjects are taught in conformity to the Word of God. One primary outcome of Christian education is to bring the student to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Christian moral training is essential to mold produce godly character in our children. Through discipline and counseling the school helps the student to see himself or herself as God sees him or her, to submit to God-ordained authority, and to do the will of God. Children are unique and loved by God. The value of each child is expressed in an atmosphere of loving concern. Children are also encouraged to develop the characteristics of respect, kindness and love in their relationships with others. Love, discipline, and structure are the keys to an atmosphere conducive to learning. Parkview Christian Academy is committed to an academic standard which necessitates the students’ mastery of the skills and knowledge needed for life and work. Small classes allow teachers to give individual attention to students and to offer praise and help. Traditional teaching methods are utilized, including memorization, homework, tests, special projects and graded evaluations. Teachers make the educational philosophy of the school live at Parkview. Teachers are personally committed to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, are dedicated to a Christian worldview, and take seriously their example and influence upon the students. |
