Mennonite schools are based on the vision that Jesus is central
to life. They call students to acknowledge Jesus' presence in
their lives and to be followers of Christ. Jesus becomes the center
of life, the world, history, creation and all learning. Students
are challenged to follow Christ in all aspects of daily life.
Teachers are at the heart of a Christ-centered school. For them,
teaching is not just a job; it's a calling. Along with academic
instruction, Christian teachers, coaches, administrators and staff
model Christ's love to students and incorporate Christ's teachings
into the classroom, athletics and daily work.
One of the most important tasks of Christian schools is to help
young people form their framework of values. Graduates of our
schools are involved in the life and witness of the church in
their home communities and around the world. Follow-up studies
show that Mennonite schools make a positive difference in the
lives of their students that lasts a lifetime.
Faith and knowledge are not competitors; in Mennonite schools
they feed each other. Whether through daily chapel, scripture
memorization, classroom prayer or animated discussions, our schools
integrate faith and knowledge and keep Christ as the focus of
learning.
