Our Philosophy:
We believe that Back Creek Christian Academy exists to spread the Gospel to children and families (Matthew 28; 18-20). We believe that children are God’s creation and that we must honor them and Him by teaching them according to God’s word, and that all aspects of the instructional environment must be founded on the absolute truth of the Bible.
We believe that God’s character is revealed not only in His word, but also in every facet of the creation. Therefore, we teach that all knowledge is interrelated and can instruct us about God himself.
God wants us to love Him with our minds, as well as with our hearts, souls and strength (Matthew 22:37). Therefore, we seek to individually challenge children at all levels and teach them how to learn, using a classical design that is developmentally appropriate.
We want to help parents teach their children that all they do should be done “heartily as unto the Lord” (Colossians 3:23). Therefore, we seek to encourage high-quality academic work and maintain high standards of conduct with the understanding that as an authority we will “give account” on behalf of our students (Hebrews 13:17).
We believe that children should be trained to see the world from a biblical perspective. We believe that the school should partner with parents to assist students in developing personal values and intellectual scholasticism rooted in the absolute truth of God’s word and to give them the opportunities to demonstrate these values in their interactions with others (Colossians 2:6-8; I Timothy 4:12).
