A true education, a Christian education…is giving the tools… [for] opening the doors to all human knowledge, in the Christian framework so (students) will know what is truth and what is untruth, so they can keep learning as long as they live, and they can enjoy, they can really enjoy, the whole wrestling through field after field of knowledge.
Francis Schaeffer
What is Christian Education? Christians have been given the gift of faith in a loving God whose purposes we can contemplate and study in order to know Him better. Christians have also been given community in which to share their discoveries and to declare their praise as they discern and contemplate the great mysteries of God and His creation. Through the ages, their work has produced a brilliant cultural legacy which should be cherished in homes and in schools as a source of delight and inspiration.
Christian parents have a God-given responsibility to see that their children’s faith is fostered at all times (Deuteronomy 11:18-23). Thus, The Imago School community collaborates with parents and families in training children to love the Lord with all their hearts, minds and souls. It strives to integrate our faith into every course and to have faith govern our relationships.
With regard to doctrine, the Imago community adheres to the essential beliefs articulated in our Statement of Faith. We serve families from all Christian backgrounds who subscribe to this confession of faith and who strive to bring up their children in the fear of the Lord and focus our teaching on the core of commonly held beliefs and prayers that unite Christian believers. The common faith life of the school revolves around prayers, hymns and psalms, both said and sung; and a chapel time in which the focus is on worship in song, and learning the flow of Biblical history and major themes of the Holy Scriptures.
