Timothy Christian School Philosophy of Christian Education

Timothy Christian School operates on the premise that the Word of God requires that the parents be responsible for the education of their children in the school, as well as in the home and in the church. The church, the Christian school, and the Christian home must work together to provide consistent Christian training. The school proposes to work in harmony with the Christian home.

At Timothy Christian School children are educated with the recognition that all truth is God’s truth. God has created all things and He continues to sustain His creation. Herein lies the important difference between a Christian and a non-Christian education. No subject can be taught in the totality of its truth if God, the Creator, is ignored or denied. Christ is the key to all of life–including education.

Therefore, we strive to provide the finest academic education possible which is also in accordance with God’s Word. True Christian education can never take place until the child trusts Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

All students at Timothy Christian School will be encouraged to develop their whole person – mentally, spiritually, socially and physically, through a comprehensive program that includes strong academics, music, drama, Christian service, chapels, retreats, prayer times and a wide variety of athletics. All teachers and staff have committed their lives to Jesus Christ, and will strive to bring every child to a personal and saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to equip each one to be able to lead a God-glorifying life.
