THE PURPOSE OF OUR EDUCATION (WHOLENESS, WORD OF GOD, WORLDVIEW, WISDOM)
The purpose of our education is to provide a regular course of study from a definite Christian point of view. We believe that education involves the development of the complete person -- spirit, mind, and body -- in the ways of God. God’s plan is revealed in His Word and therefore we use biblical principles in our learning environment. It is our desire to support Christian parents in their responsibilities of teaching and training their children. We see the teachers and parents working together to identify, nurture, and activate each student’s unique, God-given abilities. Our goals for each student are to nurture a desire to understand, train a heart to receive knowledge, and to encourage a life-long pursuit of wisdom. (Proverbs 2:6) Koinonia Christian Academy is a Christian school committed to excellence that is exhibited in all spheres of life.
