My Take on Private Christian Schools

November 18, 2008 by KimberlyE · Leave a Comment

Now, I went to a private, Catholic school from kindergarten through Grade 13 in Canada, and from what I’ve seen, the education that we received from the Catholic school system was above and beyond what other schools in our area were learning and accomplishing.

Basically, in our area, you either go to a public school or to a Catholic school…It’s your choice…

I feel that it provided me with more discipline and although there are “bad” things in all schools, especially high schools, I still think we were sheltered from a lot of things that were going on at other schools, not to mention the degree to which we were affected.

My sister went, and both of her children go to these schools in our area as well…not to mention many cousins and friends…

Now, I actually “stumbled upon” the Horizon Prep website, which is a Private Christian School San Diego.

It is important to know what a school’s “mission” is. Not all Christian schools are created equally, and it’s important to find one that you feel comfortable with for your children and that coincides with your Christian beliefs!

When I read about this school, I appreciated what they are trying to accomplish in educating the student, as a whole, in a Christian context, including spiritual, social, mental and physical development.

They view themselves as an extension of the ministry of the Church and express that they are in existence to assist students in cultivating a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Not only that, they help them to discover and encourage their gifts, and to inspire each student to realize his or her full potential in serving God in spirit and in truth.

This Christian School San Diego bases this “framework” upon what is Biblically described as the Greatest Commandment: “To love God with our Heart (spiritually), our Soul (socially), our Mind (intellectually) and our Strength (physically)” according to Mark 12:30.

Their vision is geared towards the preparation of a generation of mature individuals that are equipped spiritually, academically, physically and socially for a life of opportunity and service to the Glory of God!

What is at the core of their values?
Well, they explain, “When Jesus was asked what the greatest achievement in life was, He said; “The first of all the commandments is: Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this; you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”

They feel this is the foundation of their philosophy of education, and find it to be an ideal template to provide a Christ-centered environment of learning.

I think they’re moving in the right direction based on these facts…

They surround the students at Horizon Prep in a nurturing environment and people who LOVE JESUS CHRIST!

If the old adage rings true, “You are just like the friends you keep”, then this is a phenomenal place to have your children learning, growing and developing…Learning about the Greatest Love…That of God’s son, Jesus Christ!

Furthermore, the students learn how to apply Christian principles to every academic subject and how to integrate their faith into every part of their life.
