Educational Philosophy
The complete working philosophy of the Academy which controls our goals, objectives, and policies is an eleven-page document. The staff reviews it often and uses it to ensure that we do things right. Parents who are interested may obtain a copy through the school office. Below are some of the salient points.
- The Bible is the final, immutable authority for education.
- The authority and responsibility for all aspects of a child's development have been assigned by God to the parents. However, both the home and the church are charged with the responsibility of education. The Academy is the ministry of FABC to carry out the task of educational assistance to the home.
- God is the Creator of all truth. Christ is the Sustainer and Redeemer of all truth. The Holy Spirit is the Revealer of all truth.
- Man is the product of special creation by God, and although fallen in the original sin, he bears the image of God. Redeemed mankind alone can understand and fully appreciate the ultimate purpose for which he was created: to be like Christ. Thus, Christian education cannot be achieved with unbelievers.
- The three-fold goal of teaching is to transmit the truth in fullness and purity, to train the student with love and wisdom, and to glorify Christ, in Whom perfect love and absolute truth are united forever.
