Education is the channel which God uses to bring
His people to a clearer understanding of life.
Life without God is empty, but a life that possesses God
is limitless and eternal. That’s why Jesus said, “I am come that they might have life, and that
more abundantly.”
When the Lord introduced His form of education to Moses and
Israel (Deuteronomy 6:1-2), He broke it into three separate parts.
First, the children were
to learn the commandments: those things which God wanted them to do. This was an act of
faith, to stimulate children to do what God wanted them to do, without hesitation. Jesus said, “If you
love me, you’ll keep my commandments.”
Second, we teach
statutes or truths. Children need to know what is truth, and what is not. Great truths in
math and science must coincide with the eternal truths, such as, “Thy Word is truth….” And “Let God be true,
and every man a liar.”
Third, judgments are to
be taught to children. This generation cries out for some type of moral
clarification. Secular Humanism gives no moral judgment. A system that refrains from the Biblical judgments or
morality does not fulfill its educational goal.
Life Academy is
dedicated to a full education for all children, including the commandments of faith, the statutes of truth,
and the judgments of God.
The objective in building a private Christian school is to
obey the Scriptural imperatives of Deuteronomy 6:5-7 to
“…love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all
thy soul, and will all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine
heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children….”
And of Proverbs 22:6 to
“train up a child in THE way he SHOULD
go….”
Teaching is training. Training for life must
include training for eternity.
A
Christian school is an extension of the Christian home in training young people in a Christian
environment for time and eternity. The school staff works closely with parents to train the whole
child. We intend not only to love your children, but also to discipline them should the need
arise. We need the full cooperation and support of parents as we attempt together to produce Christ-like
character in our youth.
Attendance at Life
Academy is a privilege and not a right. The goal of Life Academy is not to reform, but to train
Christian youth of every ability in the highest principles of Christian leadership, self-discipline, individual
responsibility, personal integrity, and good citizenship.
Life Academy
stands without apology for the old-time Gospel and the highest standards of morality and Christian
behavior. We intend to support the Bible as the Holy Word of God in all of our teachings. We
will endeavor to present to you the basic concepts of life on the foundation of Scriptural
truth.
