Risen Christ Lutheran School Philosophy
Children are precious gifts from God and each is created with unique gifts and abilities. The whole child — spiritual, emotional, social, physical, and academic — is the responsibility of educators and parents.
Above all, Christian parents and teachers desire that children grow up knowing and believing in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and that they learn to live as faithful, responsible, God-fearing citizens in the world in which God has placed them.
Children mature emotionally and socially through the support and guidance of Christian teachers and parents. Learning to interact with others in a positive, constructive manner is developed through carefully designed learning environments and adult-child interactions that foster responsibility and respect for self and others.
Physical development is supported within both small and large motor opportunities. A variety of developmentally appropriate activities will provide both enthusiasm and involvement.
Academic excellence in all areas as language arts, mathematics, history, health, science, and the fine arts is a goal for each child. Academics are the second highest priority—Christian faith being the first.
Finally, the partnership between school and family is vital for the development of the whole child. Families are equal partners, rather than merely the “receivers” of school information.
