School Philosophy

Worldview & Philosophy of Life

Worldview and philosophy of life are critical values for an educational institution. As a Christian ministry, the CCS Worldview and Philosophy of Life are grounded in its Statement of Faith. The Statement of Faith includes biblical facts and references to God, man, the inspiration of the Bible, revelation, truth, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Philosophy of Schools & Learning

The purpose of the school is to assist parents with their God-given responsibilities to teach and train their children and to assist children in discovering their unique talents while developing their identities in Christ.

Educational Practice

Basic educational goals are as follows:

To give glory to God in all things
To develop spiritual servant/leaders
To develop an understanding of one’s unique responsibility to God
To help students make the most of their capabilities and make accommodations for
their limitations
To encourage creativity and curiosity
To equip students to communicate effectively in reading, writing, speaking, and
listening.
To provide a well-balanced education with academics, fine arts, and athletics
To teach students to make constructive use of leisure time

Teacher-Learner Relationships

Since the Bible is the academic and administrative foundation for the Christian school, educators and students must acknowledge and submit to its authority.

Administrators and faculty function as guides to advance the Spiritual and moral growth of the learners.
Faculty are responsible for helping students develop a proper self-image.
Education must be learner centered. Every student is different.

Diversity

School personnel must understand the dynamics of various cultures.
Staff must accept how those dynamics affect attitudes and communication within the school.
School leadership must maintain a heightened awareness of cultural issues involving the school.
Educators in the Christian school must be sensitive to language and socio-economic diversity in students and families they serve.

Statement of Faith

The Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. The Scriptures are inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed, and, therefore, are the final authority for faith and life. The sixty-six books of the Old and New Testament are the complete and divine revelation of God to man. The Scriptures shall be interpreted according their normal grammatical-historical meaning. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21).

The Godhead. There is one God, the eternally existing Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; co-eternal in being, co-identical in nature, co-equal in power and glory, and having the same attributes and perfection. (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14; John 14:10, 26).

Christ and His Work. The Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, became man, without ceasing to be God, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Luke 1:35; John 1:1-2, 14; 2 Corinthians 5:19-21; Gal. 4:4-5; Philippians 2:5-8).

The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished our redemption through his death on the cross as a representative, vicarious, substitutionary sacrifice; and, our justification is made sure by His literal, physical resurrection from the dead (Acts 2:18-36; Romans 3:24-25; I Peter 2:24; Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 13-5).

The Lord Jesus Christ ascended to Heaven and is now exalted at the right hand of God, where, as our High Priest, He fulfills the ministry of Representative, Intercessor, and Advocate (Acts 1:9-10; Hebrews 7:25; 9:24; Romans 8:34; I John 2:1-2).

The Total Depravity of Man. Man was created in the image and likeness of God, but in Adam’s sin the human race fell, man inherited a sinful nature, and became alienated from God; and, man is totally depraved, and, of himself, utterly unable to remedy his lost condition (Genesis 1:26-27; Romans 3:22-23; 5:12; 6:23; Ephesians 2: 1-3; 4:17-19).

Salvation. The Bible teaches that there is only one way of salvation and that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose precious blood was shed on Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins (John 1:12; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10; I Peter 1:18-19; John 14:6).

Missions. God has given all believers a great commission to proclaim the Gospel to all nations so that there might be a great multitude from every nation, tribe, ethnic group, and language group who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. As ambassadors of Christ, we must use all available means to go to the foreign nations and not wait for them to come to us (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-48; John 20:21; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
