What we believe...

1) The supreme standard of this society for the elementary and secondary education shall be the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, which we believe to be the word of God.

2) Believing that the Lord God , by graciously giving us the Scriptures, has revealed to His people certain basic principles intensely relevant for education, we confess:

Life
Human life in its entirety is religion; which means that we must serve God in every area of our life in obedience and out of thankfulness. We are, therefore, also required to direct the training of our children accordingly.

Bible
The Bible is the inspired word of God:
- it enlightens our life and our understanding;
- it directs our life and all our activities;
- it reveals the origin of man and of all creation;
- it is the key to knowledge of God, of ourselves and of the world;
- its truth must be the basis of all curriculum and disciplines taught to our children.

God and Creation
God, the Father, has created all things, He preserves His creation and He continues to manifest His power and dominion in the cosmos. The ultimate purpose of creation is to glorify His name.

Christ
The Christ of Scripture, the Word of God incarnate, reconciles the world of God, redeems our life in its entirety, restores our fellowship with God and our neighbour and renews our mind to rightly know God, ourselves and the world in which we live.

The Holy Spirit
The evidence of Christ's presence in our life is the work of the Holy Spirit. Our children must be made aware that the presence of God, the Father, and the saving work of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit remains with them always, also in their educational environment. It inspires and enables us to do God's will and to seek His glory in all things.

Man and Sin
Man is created in the image of God, who also established a covenantal relationship with the believers and with their children. This requires us to reflect the excellencies of our Creator and to serve Him in loving obedience. Man, by disobeying God's law and forsaking his purpose, estranged himself from God and his neighbour, and brought God's curse upon creation. As a result, fallen man has become blind to the true meaning of life and misuses and represses the knowledge of God that confronts him in creation and the Scripture.

The Kingdom of God
In God's kingdom the rule of Jesus Christ over all things is established and therefore it makes the acquisition of all knowledge possible and meaningful. Since we must subject every thought in obedience to Christ, we, therefore, reject any attempt to withdraw any aspect of life from the divine commandment to love the Lord with all our heart, soul and mind. We will constantly endeavor to express and apply this Kingdom vision in all disciplines of learning.

The Purpose of School Education

The purpose of education at this school is:
- to attain to understanding, wisdom and righteousness, and so to instill in the child an awareness of God's presence in his life;
- to provide the child with the skills and understanding of himself, his relationship to God, to others and to the world around and to so faithfully serve the Lord in all areas;
- to provide learning experience suitable to the needs and abilities of each child;
- to reach other groups for the Lord (evangelism).

The Christian School Organization
The School, established and controlled by an association of Christian believers, in accordance with its Constitution and bylaws, possesses the freedom to function in the field of education in complete and voluntary submission to the Kingship of Christ.
