RGCA PHILOSOPHY
It is necessary to properly define terms when discussing a philosophy of Christian education. According to Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, the following definitions have been determined.
1. Philosophy – Literally, the love of wisdom. In modern use, however, philosophy is a general term denoting an explanation of the reasons for things.
2. Christian – Pertaining to Christ, taught by Him, or received from Him.
3. Education – The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten understanding, correct the temper, form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations.
From the above, it is concluded that a philosophy of Christian education is that which makes plain the cause, ground, principle, or motive for bringing up young people in the ways of Christ. This instruction and discipline should enable one to comprehend truth. It should cause the disposition of a student’s mind to conform to the truth and to that which is right. A student should be taught that his external appearance, look, or air, as well as his customs and repetitive acts should be in accordance with Christ and His Word. He should also be instructed to serve God throughout his life-work. God’s desire is that we know Him and His son Jesus Christ “…in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Col. 2:3 we are to be “…rooted and built up in Him…” learning His ways instead of the false “…philosophy and vain deceit …after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world.” Col. 2:6-8 It is the responsibility of the family, church, and school to work together in teaching our children to obey God’s laws, specifically the Ten Commandments. Dt. 4:9, 10; 6:4-9. This instruction will produce a proper fear and love of God and a realization that Jesus Christ is needed to control our lives. Gal. 3:24,25. As Christian character is attained, God’s Spirit will guide them into future usefulness for His glory. God has given to man all that is needed pertaining to “life and godliness, through the knowledge of… Christ.” 2 Pet. 1:2,3. This knowledge, or information, is found in His Word, the Bible. Thus it is reasonable to expect the principles of every subject (which is profitable to man) to be found in the Bible. It is our privilege and responsibility to uncover these truths and to teach them to our students. 2 Tim. 2:15 Accordingly, the entire educational process of our students will be governed by the Word of God. The curriculum of Round Grove Christian Academy will be based solely on the Scriptures and principles found therein. Our method of instruction will be in accordance with the Master Teacher, Jesus Christ. In addition, the faculty, staff, administration, and all involved with Round Grove Christian Academy will be Christian and strive to live strictly by the Word of God. The operation of Round Grove Christian Academy will be governed by principles found in God’s Holy Word in order for us to be true to a philosophy of Christian education.
