Philosophy of Education

We hold that Christian education is a mandate from God for the Christian family (Matthew 28:18-20). Because of Scripture verses such as Proverbs 19:27, Proverbs 22:6, Deuteronomy 6:6-9, and Colossians 2:8, we feel we must provide an atmosphere conducive to the precepts of the Bible and in harmony with parental admonition.

We support parents who have a high regard for standards and teach their children morals such as truthfulness, purity, honesty, patriotism, and faithfulness.  Every subject is taught in light of Biblical truth. We accept God's Word as the final authority. Our school is a ministry of Bible Baptist Tabernacle. We exist because of our church, and we operate in harmony with our church and its ministries.

Tabernacle Christian School operates with a traditional philosophy of education. By traditional education we hold:

1.  That the teacher is in charge of the classroom.

2.  That the teacher is responsible for providing a structured atmosphere   

      in which the students will learn.

3.  That the teacher has the authority to administer discipline to each child.

4.  That homework is assigned regularly and is expected to be completed on

      time.

5.  That God's Word is truth. Our teachers use God-centered textbooks

     which teach spiritual truths, morality, and patriotism.

6.  That drill work and memorization are key tools in instruction.

7.  That reading is taught by phonics.

8.  That the teacher is professional in manner but is also servant-minded.

9.  That true learning takes place in this order:  

        a.  Control

        b.   Communication

        c.   Learning

        d.   Positive Reinforcement

10. That rules and standards are not obsolete and out-dated.
