TITLE

MISSION STATEMENT

Sonshine Christian School exists to advance the light of the Gospel by partnering with families to help children achieve academic excellence, develop moral character, and cultivate a heart for loving and serving God as well as others.

Luke 2:52; 24: 46-47; Mark 12: 28-31

 

PHILOSOPHY

Recognizing that each child is a unique and miraculous gift from God, we are dedicated to developing each student’s intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual abilities and talents in an environment of love that honors God and  blesses each child and family.

Sonshine Christian School subscribes to a Biblical philosophy of education and a Christian world view.  This approach is foundational to all our policies, instruction, procedures and activities.  We acknowledge that there is one true God, who is the creator and sustainer of all and who has revealed Himself through nature, through His inerrant scriptures – the Bible, and through His Son our only Savior Jesus Christ.  Mankind, despite being uniquely created in God’s image, is sinful and separated from God and needs to be spiritually “born again” through personal faith in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection to experience God’s greatest blessings now and through eternity.

We believe that  the Bible teaches that marriage is a union between a man and a woman.  Biblical attitudes towards parents, families and marriage are taught and modeled.

We will not conceal God’s teachings from children, but tell the generation to come praise the Lord, His strength and His wondrous works.  We teach them to put their confidence in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.  Psalm 78:4,7

All your children will be taught of the Lord; and the peace of your children will be great.  Isaiah 54:13
