Philosophy
The educational philosophy of New Life Christian Academy is based upon the inspired and infallible Word of God. Since God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things through His Son Jesus Christ, the universe and all of life are related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. Man is created in God's image, different in kind from all other creation, with the unique capacity to know and respond to God personally and voluntarily. Due to the fact that man is a sinner by nature and choice, he cannot know or honor God in his life. He must be born again by repenting of his sins and receiving Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior. Only after receiving Christ as Savior is man capable of doing God's will, which should be his ultimate purpose in life. Thus, there is no such thing as secular or sacred for the Christian. Everything is sacred in that it should honor and glorify God.
The entire process of Christian Education is seen as a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring the student to a saving knowledge of Christ, to walk in fellowship with God, to help him become mighty in the spirit, to assist him in developing a Christian world and life view, to train him in Christ virtues, and to demonstrate Christ-like character qualities so that he can fulfill God's total purpose for his life and vocation. He is taught the Bible so he may understand God as well as his own true nature. He is developed and related to God as a whole person -- spiritually, mentally, physically and socially. The student is taught to see that all truth is God's truth and to integrate God’s Word with other subject matter. He is educated as an individual person with his unique personality and abilities, and he must learn to live and work with others at home, in the church, and in a changing secular society. He is taught by parent and teacher models that are born again Christians and have this perspective on life.
The authority for a Christian education comes from both God's command that children be taught to love God and place Him first in their lives and from the fact that parents are responsible for the total education and training of their children. At the parents’ request, New Life Christian Academy becomes a partner in giving this education. New Life Christian Academy is an integral part of New Life Baptist Church’s educational program, serving parents in fulfilling their responsibility of educating their children
