Certain priorities shape the whole school curriculum.
-
Spiritual and moral education forms the foundation for not only personal, social and health education,
but also for all subjects.
-
Wisdom is valued as an important dimension to knowledge, skills and understanding i.e. seeing
things from God's perspective and applying what is learned to right living.
-
Knowing God, the Lordship of Christ and His purposes is central to all areas of the curriculum.
-
Knowledge of the world, its history and the purpose of life is within a framework of key historical
events: creation, a marred earth, the redemptive work of Christ and eventual consummation in a
new earth.
-
The development of an individual is balanced with responsibility to community life.
-
We prioritise the nurture of a Judaeo-Christian worldview in the Lower School and gradually introduce
a comparison with other ideologies and beliefs e.g. Hinduism, Darwinism, consumerism, animism.
-
The emphasis and teaching strategies differ within the three age related departments. This is to
facilitate God-given patterns of growth and to recognise the different needs of young children and
those approaching young adulthood.
