The educational
philosophy of ACA is based on a God-centered view
that all truth is God’s truth, and that the Bible
is the inspired and the only infallible authoritative
Word of God, which contains this truth.God created all things and sustains all things.Therefore, the universe and man are dynamically
related to God and have the purpose of glorifying
Him.Because
man is a sinner by nature and choice, he cannot, however,
glorify or know God. He can do this only by choosing
God’s free gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus
Christ, thereby committing his life to the Lordship
of Jesus Christ.
Our aim socially
is to provide a Christian perspective on the total
worldview from which will come a balanced personality
and a proper understanding and acceptance of a person’s
role in life at home, at work, at play and at worship
-- all grounded in the Christian concept of love.
This philosophy
channels our energies to promote high academic standards
while helping the students to achieve skills in creative
and critical thinking using the best-integrated curriculum
available.
The objective
of our instructional program is to enable the student
to pursue the post-secondary education of his/her
choosing, whether in college, university or in vocational
training areas.
Our responsibility for the student encompasses
the spiritual, mental, intellectual, physical, social
and emotional areas.These are inseparable, and through them runs
the insistent thread of the spiritual.Therefore, it must be our aim to shun the tendency
to teach the Bible compartmentally or on the intellectual
level alone — the scarlet thread must be woven throughout
the total curriculum.
It is apparent then, that the types of activities
we employ or permit in the classroom or school program
will either facilitate or militate against our basic
philosophy.The spiritual must permeate all areas else
we become textbook oriented rather than student oriented.
This philosophy dictates that we cooperate closely
with parents in every phase of the student’s development,
always offering assistance in understanding the purposes
of ACA.
