Stockdale Christian School

The Christian philosophy of Education is unique in contrast to all other philosophies. Most philosophies of education place man at the center and are humanistic. The Christian philosophy places God at the center and seeks to view life in every dimension from His perspective. He is the Creator of all things and in Him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). We believe that God is the author of all truth and that reality in life is only understood through a personal saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We believe that man was created in Gods image but has had that image tainted through the sin of Adam. Man is spiritually dead and needs to be re-born into a right relationship with God. One of our primary objectives is to encourage each student to restore this proper relationship by receiving Christ as personal Lord and Savior. This is followed by developing an understanding of ones dependence upon the indwelling of Gods Holy Spirit to empower each student to live a holy life that conforms to Gods Will.

We further believe that the Bible is the only authoritative written revelation to man. This bibliocentric view should encompass all aspects of a students educational experience: spiritually physically mentally and socially. Therefore every attempt is made to integrate the principles of faith and learning so that each student will develop a viable Christian worldview and live a life that brings glory and honor to God. In keeping with these convictions Stockdale Christian School seeks to keep Christ central in all educational programs through Christian faculty who present all curricula from a biblical viewpoint. for in Him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3).

Finally we believe that the Bible is explicit in regard to the educational responsibilities of parents. to bring up their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). A primary objective of Stockdale Christian School is to reinforce and support traditional Christian values. For the school to truly function in this capacity there must be continuous cooperation and communication between the school the home and the church. The Bible says that a cord of three strands is not easily broken. Each entity needs to complement and be in harmony with the other committed to Christ and under the Holy Spirits control. With the school the home and the church working as partners each student will be afforded the maximum benefits of a truly Christ-centered education.

that in all things He might have the pre-eminence. (Colossians 1:9)
