Philosophy and Objectives

    The purpose of Mt. Carmel Christian School is to teach young people the subjects of a well-
    rounded education as well as the tenets of Biblical faith.  We believe that the centrality of the Bible
    in Christian education is critical.  It provides a unifying frame of reference for every subject and
    gives life and power to the whole curriculum.  

    The objectives of the school are centered around these goals:

    To establish Christian Truth as a guide for life through:

    1.  An understanding that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and of man through
    which His eternal power and His divine nature are clearly seen.  (Nehemiah 9:6)

    2.  An acceptance that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only authority
    for faith and practice.  (II Timothy 3:16,17)

    3.  The knowledge that all men are sinners and can have salvation only through personal
    faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.  (Titus 3:5,6)

    4.  The development (after coming to Christ) of consistent Christian life through prayer and
    daily Bible study.  (I Peter 2:2)

    5.  A stirring of a desire to invest one's life in Christian service to the glory
    of God.  (Colossians 1:9,10)

    To maintain high academic standards through:

    1.  A mastery of the skills of communication (English, writing, reading) and math so thoroughly that
    the student will be prepared to acquire further knowledge without hindering limitations.  
    (Colossians 3:23)

    2.  The desire to work and acquire knowledge at maximum ability.  
    (Ecclesiastes 9:10a)

    3.  The ability to discern truth from error.  (I John 4:6)

    To instill pure morals in the heart of the student through:

    1.  Development of an appreciation for the values from our spiritual and
    cultural heritage.  (Psalm 61:5)

    2.  An instilling of the desire to choose right over wrong and to hold to one's
    convictions under pressure.  (Daniel 1:8)

    3.  The teaching of loyalty to our country and a recognition of atheistic teachings which
     undermine our country's foundation.  (I Peter 2:13-17)

    4.  The recognition of government as God-ordained.  (Romans 13:1)

    5.  The stirring of a desire to become involved citizens of this nation for the Lord's sake.
     (Acts 13:36a)

    To live a disciplined life through:

    1.  Submission to the Holy Spirit who conforms us to the image of Christ.  (Romans 8:9,10)

    2.  The exercising of self-restraint and consideration of others.  
    (I Corinthians 9:25,27)

    3.  Submission to the legitimate authorities with full cooperation, and when proper, by becoming a
    strong and gracious leader.  (Titus 3:1)
