The educational philosophy of Hirest Christian School is based on a God-centered view of life. This view holds that God created and sustains all things. All things, including man, are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. Because man is a sinner by nature and choice, he cannot glorify or have a relationship with God on his own. He can do this only by choosing God’s gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ, thereby committing his life to the lordship of Jesus Christ. The God-centered view of life also holds that God communicates truth to man through the Bible. The Bible is the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God and is the standard for all Truth.
Our primary aim is to assist Christian parents in their responsibility for the education and training of their children. As such, Hirest Christian School will provide a rigorous academic instruction and numerous extra-curricular activities that are integrated with a God-centered view of life. The intent is to help students to develop their talents, abilities, and character to impact this world for the Lord.
This philosophy requires that we promote high academic standards while helping students to achieve skills in creative and critical thinking using the best-integrated curriculum model available. The curriculum will be taught by a qualified Christian faculty who will also serve as role models in their Christian walk. The objective of our instructional program is to enable the student to pursue the post-secondary education of their choosing, whether in college, university, or vocational training.
Our responsibility for the student encompasses the spiritual, mental, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional areas. These areas are inseparable and are all iNFLuenced by the truth that God is the center of life. Therefore, the Bible will not be taught as just another subject or on the intellectual level alone. Instead, the truth of God’s Word will be incorporated throughout the whole curriculum.
This philosophy dictates that we cooperate closely with parents in every phase of the student’s development, always offering assistance in understanding the purposes of Hirest Christian School.
