The academic goals Christian Community School has established in accordance with this philosophy are: 1. To promote high academic standards within the potential of the individual as uniquely created by God and to help the student realize his full academic potential. 2. To help each student gain a thorough comprehension and command of the fundamental processes used in communicating and dealing with others, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening and mathematics. 3. To teach and encourage the use of good study habits. 4. To teach the student how to do independent research and to reason logically. 5. To motivate the student to pursue independent study in areas of personal interest. 6. To develop creative and critical thinking and proper use of biblical criteria for evaluation. 7. To promote good citizenship through developing the understanding and appreciation of our Christian and American heritages of responsible freedom, human dignity and acceptance of authority. 8. To discuss current affairs in all fields and relate them to God’s plan for man. 9. To produce an understanding and appreciation for God’s world, an awareness of man’s role in his environment and his God-given responsibilities to use and preserve it properly. 10. To engender an appreciation of the fine arts through the development of the student’s understanding and personal expression.
