PHILOSOPHY
A Christian philosophy of education affirms a comprehensive
worldview of God, man, and the universe. God, who is
immutable, has revealed Himself in nature, in the Person of Jesus,
and in the Bible, which is authoritative in all matters of faith,
truth, and practice. Jesus Christ is the focus of all
scripture, and the source of all authority for life and education
(II Timothy 3:16-17).
Man is a unique creation of God, made in His image, apart from
any evolutionary process. Being made in God`s image, man has
a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and destiny. He is a
rational and moral being, capable of understanding and
communicating ideas.
The image of God in man is marred by sin; his understanding is
obscured and his morality debased. Though fallen from his
original position through Adam`s disobedience and his own sin, he
may be restored to full relationship with God through his
acceptance of the redemptive work of Christ, applied by the Holy
Spirit.
Christian education begins with knowing God through Jesus
Christ "in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). No one is truly educated who does not
know God. People are dependent upon God for the ability to
learn truth and to interpret facts. "The natural person does
not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they arefolly
to him, andhe is not able to understand them because they are
spiritually discerned." (I Corinthians 2:14).
Christian education promotes a Biblical relationship within the
family, the church, and the Christian Academy. According to
the Scriptures, parents are responsible to God for the education of
their children. The cooperative effort of the home and the
Christian Academy is needed to fulfill that
responsibility.
Knowledge of the Bible and of Jesus Christ, integrated with the
curriculum, is essential to the development and growth of the child
physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Right
behavior is based on the proper concept of the origin and purpose
of all things; namely, that "whatever we do in word or deed should
be done to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Pioneer Valley Christian Academy is a wonderful school. It encompasses everything our family was looking for in a school. Quality academics, caring community, and strong morals and values modeled by PVCA faculty and staff. My children have been attending since preschool and our oldest son is moving on to Middle School. Aside from their views aligning with our family's, I have also treasured the student integration that occurs throughout the school day. My boys can be walking down the hallway to a technology class and come across one of their older peers and score a high five or quick shout out, "How are you, buddy?" It's such a great community and worth every penny.
