Overview
The primary purpose of Lehigh Christian Academy is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We believe that a Christian education that holds that God is central and everything exists in relation to Him will glorify Him.
To enjoy God forever a person must know the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Living Lord; therefore, Lehigh Christian Academy seeks to present Him in its entire program.
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3).
"We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect (complete, mature) in Christ.
To this end (we) labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in (us)" (Colossians 1 :28, 29).
Congregations of Shaare Shamayim offers comprehensive preschool and kindergarten programs in Northeast Philadelphia.
Our program is committed to providing a highly regarded educational foundation while combining life skills and values to ensure a smooth, easy, and successful transition to elementary school.
Our program emphasizes the development of the “whole child” by recognizing the need for allowing each child to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically at their own pace.
We encourage the development of life skills such as sharing, personal responsibility, positive interactions, respecting rights of others, and conflict resolution, which are formed and developed during these years.
We are instilling valuable Jewish values as we teach our children that they can help to heal the world one good deed at a time.
Our goal is to accomplish all of the above in a warm, supportive, accepting, safe, nurturing, and stimulating educational environment.
Our staff of dedicated and experienced teaching professionals has been carefully selected to meet the individual needs of young children.
