Integrating faith and Christian principles into education

As I walked into the usually quiet room after school, it was buzzing with excitement!  Over thirty of our elementary students were actively playing Equations in the Academic Games program.  Meanwhile, at the other end of the school, a half-dozen students were designing, building, and programming robots in our Lego-Robotics program.  Next semester over two dozen of our high school students will participate in the Science Olympiad program.  All of these programs are available to our students under the direction of caring, enthusiastic teachers who partner with parents and integrate faith and Christian principles into our children’s lives. 

Our children have a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow in an educational environment rich in faith.  As an example of that, Mrs. Jackson, one of our terrific teachers, shared the following:

One of my first grade girls prayed before lunch today:
“Dear God,
Thank you for the opportunity to love you.
Thank you for giving us things so we can share them with people who need them.
Please help us to use our hearts to do good things.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.”

WOW!  This says it all.
