Temple Christian School’s purpose and philosophy are based upon a Christian viewpoint holding that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. God has revealed Himself through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, as revealed in Holy Scripture, the Bible. The highest good is realized in the exercise of His will and, on the part of man, in the conformity to that will.

The ultimate objective of Christian education must be to help young people realize their full potential as human beings in GOD’S perfect will for their lives (II Timothy 3:16-17). Accomplishing this objective involves witnessing to and winning the lost child to Christ, providing for intellectual growth and development through academic studies, providing opportunities for social activities consistent with Biblical, moral and spiritual values, and providing for wholesome physical exercise and development.

Ultimately, God sets standards by which value judgments are to be made. He has revealed Himself and His will most clearly through His Son and His Word; therefore, Christ and the Bible must be central to every subject or activity. This means that the Biblical viewpoint must permeate the entire school program, including curriculum, co-curricular activities, athletics, business, and the interpersonal relationships of all those associated with the school.

A Christian teacher with a Christian philosophy of education teaches science as GOD’s creation, geography as GOD’s handiwork, history as GOD’s dealing with nations of the world, mathematics as a glimpse of GOD’s orderliness and absolute truth, physical education and health as our responsibility in caring for GOD’s temple, music and art as GOD’s beauty and tools for worship, and reading skills as an opportunity to read and understand GOD’s Word. All of this will help the student relate to everyday living and contribute a positive influence for JESUS CHRIST.

Temple Christian School joins with parents and the church in a partnership to train each child to realize his fullest potential as a creation of God (Proverbs 22:6). Temple Christian School attempts to meet its responsibility in this partnership by providing a quality education, which emphasizes basic skill mastery to equip each to be a contributing, functioning adult in an ever-changing society. It seeks to maintain a Christ-centered, Spirit-controlled, Bible-based, pupil-oriented environment. Discipline is developed within the framework of Biblical principles, including emphasis on love of country and respect for others. It is believed that the consistent implementation of this philosophy will provide for the optimum spiritual, academic, social, and physical development for each. Temple Christian School requires all teachers and staff to be committed, born-again Christians.
