The Old and New Testaments form the basis for all that we aim to do at our school. We stand intentionally on the interpretation of Scripture given us in our Confessional statements: the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dordt. These historic Reformed documents are important as the basis of our school.
We also identify six areas of distinctive emphasis
Authority: We regard the Bible as God's book which He wrote for us. (2 Peter 1:20-21) Because of this, the Bible is the standard for all that we do and believe.
Creation: Our science courses are taught from the perspective of a historical reading of the Genesis accounts. All things were created by God in six days and from nothing. Children will learn the errors of macro-evolutionary theories, whether naturalist or theistic.
Antithesis: Since the fall into sin, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan have been in opposition to each other. We teach our children that all areas of life belong to God and are to be brought under His redemptive Lordship.
The Covenant: The Bible teaches us that God made a covenant with Abraham. When we believe in Jesus, we are brought into that covenant and receive all its saving benefits and privileges. Our children are included with us in this covenant and thus are also recipients of these blessings.
Human Relationships: God created both male and female in His image. As a result of this, both stand before God on an equal basis. The Bible teaches us that God has also created men to play a certain role in society just as He has created women for a certain role in society. Therefore, we resist all cultural pressures to erase these distinctions and downplay the differences between men and women.
Schooling: The responsibility for education rests upon parents. The family is the basic building block of society. The authority of the school is derived from the authority which parents have delegated to the school for the education of our children.
