OUR
MISSION
The
Christian School of GBC seeks to prepare children to serve God in this life and
the next, through teaching a knowledge of His Word and its application to our
Christian faith and practice. This includes loving, sacrificial service to
others. Using a traditional classroom approach to impact basic academic skills,
students are taught by qualified, godly teachers who use a long-established
course of study. The school strives to assist Christian parents with the
spiritual, intellectual, physical, social and creative development of their
children.
Our students are continually
reminded of the fact that they are creatures made in God's image and thus responsible to love Him with all their
strength and mind (Luke 10:27). Bible study therefore is not the only
class period for Christian
instruction. Our teachers seek to point out that every exercise of the mind is to be in service to God and
subject to His
 direction. Since we are preparing children to walk before
the Lord, we labor to give them a Christian world and life view in all things.
Because we strive to impress upon our students God's law, order and
discipline will be expected of them. Since we are anxious to make Christ's
gospel known to the children, no opportunity will be overlooked in applying
God's Word to their particular problems and questions. Though hours will be
spent when God's name is
not expressly mentioned or the Bible opened, we labor to foster a sense of His
presence, interest and rule at all times.
The curriculum includes Bible,
Reading, English, Spelling, Math, Science, Social Studies, Music Appreciation,
Art, Speech, Spanish (7th & 8th), and Physical Education. The
Christian School of Grace Baptist Church meets or exceeds all State of
Pennsylvania curriculum requirements for each grade level. Computer
courses are taught with an emphasis on keyboard and word processing skills.
