See God as the Creator and Sustainer of life.
Understand their identity and purpose in Christ.
Approach learning with responsibility, reverence, and joy.

High expectations
Warmth and encouragement
Biblical truth in action
Personalized learning support
“The true teacher is not satisfied with second-rate work. He is not content to let the student drift along with a half-formed character.”
