Houghton Academy vs. Central Baptist Christian School

Houghton Academy is a Christian, college preparatory, international boarding and day school.

Founded in 1883, it is one of the oldest continually operating schools in America that has not wavered from its original mission. The Academy includes grades 6-12 and is made up of approximately 50%American students while the remaining 50% are international students typically representing 15-20 countries from around the world.

The Academy`sdiverse culture represents the interconnected world that its students will live and work in.

Central Baptist Christian School believes that the Holy Bible, as originally written, was verbally inspired of the Holy Spirit and the product of Spirit-controlled men.

Believing in the infallible authority of the Scriptures, we accept the whole Bible, both the Old and the New Testaments, as the Word of God by which all human conduct, creeds and opinions should be tried.

We believe in creation, not evolution, and utterly reject all humanist teachings that attempt to replace God's authoritative revelation with man's vain philosophies.

Furthermore, for the promotion of Christian education at all levels, we recognize the Bible – not just as truth – but as the foundation of all truth and knowledge in all subjects, and we recognize the Lordship of Christ in all areas of life.

We further maintain that the chief end of Christian education is to bring the student into a right relationship with God; that His name be glorified; that the cause of the Gospel be advanced; and that the student find fulfillment and joy in a God-centered life.
