Why Christian Education

Page slug: 
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2

At Prince Avenue Christian School, we assist our students in developing Biblical wisdom and discernment as they pursue excellence in academics, the fine arts and athletics.

In Roman’s 12:2, Paul speaks to the foundation of Christian education: to be transformed through the renewing of the mind. At Prince Avenue Christian School our desire is to challenge our students to pursue the mind of Christ as they learn about life and the world in which they live. Transformation occurs as students come to know the Truth--Jesus Christ--and learn truth which is an understanding of reality as God sees it.

Scripture provides the basis of understanding truth, and is integrated into the all areas of our academic curriculum and co-curricular activities. We provide a stimulating academic environment which encourages students to embrace Truth as they engage their community and world. Our teachers, who seek to model Christ through their teaching and leadership, encourage our students to reach their full potential in Christ through academic excellence, creative expression, athletic challenges, and social responsibility and ministry.
