Philosophy of Education

What we believe about partnering with families

We believe education, spiritual, and character development begins in the home and that partnership is vital to a successful educational experience. Healthy, constructive communication between the home and the school is key to partnership. We welcome on and off campus partnership opportunities, believing this is foundational to learner success.

What we believe about developing the whole child

We believe a well rounded education encompasses academics, spiritual growth, social, emotional development, and physical health. A rigorous education empowers learners to think critically and question thoughtfully. In tandem, a collaborative learning environment develops effective communicators, while learners embrace challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth and developing resilience. Developmentally appropriate, research-based educational practices provide learners with a cohesive and comprehensive Preschool-High School experience as they are taught through a biblical worldview, integrating Christ into all content areas and exemplifying that God’s ultimate truth is relevant for their lives today. Our learners are surrounded by a loving and caring staff that guide, correct, and model a Christ-centered life. Learners are given tools and opportunities to develop their physical health through physical education, fitness, and athletics.

What we believe about preparing learners to engage in God’s plan for their lives

As a Crossroads Christian School Warrior, learners are provided with consistent opportunities to develop their own relationship with the Lord. They are equipped with skills needed to cultivate a successful understanding of who God has called them to be in school, society, and relationships. Facilitators act as “living curriculum” as they lead from a personal relationship with Jesus. Warriors are adaptable, lead with curiosity, and embrace change with confidence. Learners demonstrate Christ-like character through worship, servant leadership, and empowering personal growth. They discover and use their God-given talents to be a catalyst for change in the world around them.
