Our Core Values

  • We believe that our very existence depends on the unmerited favor bestowed on us by God through the death of Christ on the cross (Col. 2:13-14; Titus 3:4-7). Therefore, we:

    Develop an environment where people are loved, not because of what they do, but because we choose to love them (Duet. 7:7-8; II Tim. 1:9-10)

    Cultivate an environment where forgiveness is practiced and encouraged (Eph. 4:30-5:2)

    Endeavor to keep rules to a minimum (Gal. 2:16; Col. 2:20-23).

    Strive to encourage success rather than focusing on preventing failure (Phil. 3:12-14)

    Encourage students to develop the resilience of a maturing faith that enables them to persevere through difficult circumstances (Rom. 5:1-5; James 1:2-4)

  • We believe that the Bible is God’s Word (I Thess. 2:13; II Tim. 3:16-17), that God’s Word is truth (Ps. 119:160; John 17:17), and that knowledge of it is key to unleashing its transformational power (John 8:31-32). Therefore, we:

    Teach that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6).

    Endeavor to teach truth in all academic subjects (Ps. 25:4-5; II Tim. 2:15; John 17:17).

    Evaluate all truth claims against Scripture (Ps. 119:97-104; Acts 17:11).

    Encourage our students to embrace truth and live according to it (John 8:31-32; Ps. 15:2-3; II Tim. 2:15; III John 1:4).

    Strive for growth, learning, and improvement according to God’s Word as individuals and as an institution (1 Cor. 9:24-27; Phil. 3:12-14; I Thess. 4:1).

  • We believe that we are each called to love God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves (Luke 10:27). Therefore, we:

    Cultivate an outward focus by encouraging students to serve others (Heb. 13:16).

    Provide encouragement and assistance to other Christian schools (II Cor. 8:3-5; Phil. 2:3-4).

    Endeavor to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15).

    Diligently preserve unity (Eph. 4:3; Phil. 2:2) while valuing each other’s unique giftedness (Rom. 12:3-8; I Cor. 12:12-27).

    Monitor the effect of our behavior on others so that we do not hinder someone’s relationship with the Lord (Rom.14:1-23; II Tim. 2:23-26).

Philosophy of Education

The educational process in a Christian school is dependent on a Biblical philosophy which provides a Christian worldview and essential truths for life so that children may be prepared to assume their proper place in the home, the church, and the state.

Accordingly, the philosophy of education for Morning Star Christian School is as follows:

Morning Star Christian School exists to train and equip students to be successful in their community and leaders in their generation. This is accomplished by rigorous training in academics with Christian teachers who teach students to view curriculum and culture through a Biblical worldview. Students learn in a nurturing environment with teachers who are accessible and provide individual attention. Bullying and harassment is not tolerated. Each child will receive an education that will not only be academically challenging but will also focus on building character and morals.

We believe that:

  • All people are created with equal and unalienable rights.

  • Every child is blessed with unique talents and abilities to be discovered, encouraged, and developed.

  • All children have an innate ability to learn.

  • Education is a necessary component to equip and empower children to be successful in life.

  • Students desire to be academically challenged in order to learn and improve.

  • A child’s best effort is a vital step in realizing their full potential.

  • School should be a safe and stimulating learning environment.

  • Learning should occur in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation.

  • Teachers must know their students on a personal level in order to accommodate their needs and differentiate instruction for diverse learning styles.

  • Teaching children is the responsibility of all adults and parents should be an integral part of the learning process.

  • Teachers should not only be dedicated to the pursuit of lifelong learning for themselves but also cultivate that desire in their students as well.

  • Parents who invest time and experience in their child’s learning will positively impact the student’s attitude towards learning.
