San Fernando Valley Academy C. D. C.

San Fernando Valley Academy is dedicated to the fulfillment of one great purpose in cooperation with divine agencies, “to restore in man the image of his maker, to bring him back to the perfection in which he was created, to promote the development of body, mind, and soul, that the divine purpose of his creation might be realized,” Education, p. 15, 16.
In the beginning man was created in the image of God and was “endowed with a power akin to that of the Creator-individuality, power to think and to do,” Education, p. 17. Man’s capacity for free, creative, responsible thinking and acting has been considerably diminished by sin. It is, therefore, the purpose of Christian education to restore this power in each student. A knowledge of God, His plan for redemption, and the kind of persons men and women may become as they are restored to His likeness is of first importance throughout the total school experience. Such a tranSForming restoration involves the development of the whole person, physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually.
