School Notes
PARKLAND LUTHERAN SCHOOL IS:
CHRISTIAN - CLASSICAL - CREDIBLE - COMMITTED
CHRISTIAN:
We teach our students that Jesus Christ is their Savior. He
lived a perfect life in their place and died for all their sins. He
did this because of His great love for all and because of His
desire that everyone be saved and go to heaven. We know this
wonderful message from the Bible, which is God`s Word.Our goal as a
Christian school is to help our students understand the Christian
faith and to train them to be productive and responsible
citizens.
CLASSICAL:
Classical Education is a model of education that focuses on
three developmental stages (Trivium) and says every subject has
building blocks which must be known to understand the subject (its
Grammar). It is in this stage where students learn how to gather
information. Next, students learn how to arrange that information
and begin to understand how it all works together (its Logic).
Finally, students learn how to put their knowledge, understanding,
and wisdom to practical use and explain it to someone else
(Rhetoric). The Trivium focuses the educational method to best
develop a knowledgeable, thinking, and articulate student in the
end. The goal of teachers is to guide students through these three
parts (Trivium) and teach them when appropriate.
CREDIBLE:
