“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

“In whom (Christ) are hidden all the treasures of knowledge and wisdom.” Colossians 2:3

“Fathers do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4

Woodlands Christian will:

• Uphold a thoroughly Christian world-view believing that all truth is God’s truth.
• Demonstrate the integration of learning, faith and life.
• Challenge students to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind and strength.
• Promote a rigorous academic standard in the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom in every area.
• Foster an atmosphere that encourages critical thinking through innovative teaching techniques, in order to engage students in the discovery of truth and promote a life-long appreciation for learning.
• Recognize the parents' ultimate responsibility for the child’s education and discipline by affirming the model of the family, church and school working together to direct the child.
• Encourage the expression of a Christ-like community within the ethnic, racial, cultural and denominational diversity of our school.
• Guide students to be responsible citizens while upholding the dignity due each individual.
• Inspire a love of virtue through self-discipline fostered by precept and example.
