At Tabernacle Christian School we have a traditional philosophy of education as compared to the progressive philosophy of the public school systems.

We believe that the sole end of man is to glorify God and to bring pleasure to Him as we live our lives yielded to His control. Consequently, our primary focus is in developing the spirit of the child. Scripture teaches us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge”. As we teach a child of his need for salvation and Lordship, the education of his soul and body will be greatly enhanced.

Our main premise is that the Word of God is the absolute authority in all areas of our lives, and that all knowledge must be interpreted in light of the Scriptures. Accordingly, the Bible is our foundational text book.

Our school strives to keep God as the central focus of all classes and activities. A traditional education must be God-centered.

We believe that the authority of the administration and teachers is crucial for developing a proper respect for, and obedience to God in our students’ lives.  Therefore, we strive to be proper Christian examples to our students.

Realizing that we all have a sin nature which needs to be overcome, we set standards and establish curriculum in order to develop Godly character. We are careful to maintain a firm, yet loving atmosphere in our school.

All full time teachers are members of Tabernacle Baptist Church and are expected to demonstrate a high level of spiritual maturity worthy of imitation.

Through the use of the traditional approach to education we seek to lead the student to develop personal Biblical convictions. We seek to build the spirit of the child through the use of solid Christian textbooks and curriculum.

We endeavor to teach the child to open his spirit to God, because when the spirit is open to God, it is open to other authority. When his spirit is open to Godly authority, he can achieve academic excellence.

The responsibility of spiritual and academic training belongs to parents. Our traditional approach embraces a close working relationship between the home, the church, and the school. As we work with the parents to develop faithful church members, the foundation of the school is automatically strengthened.

The school operates within the framework of the church which helps to maintain the thrust of the educational process based upon the Word of God. The local church, not the state, is responsible to help parents fulfill this responsibility.

Through the efforts of the three-fold cord - the home, the church, the school – we believe the goal of training up children to love the Lord, and to walk in all of His ways can be met.
