Our Philosophy Statement
We believe Meadowlane Christian School is a servant of the church at large, rather than an added expense. MCS is an added blessing to the church and a profitable investment for the time and eternity. We believe that MCS, working together with the family and the whole church, as a special role to our goals for growth of each child are:
~To develop each child’s faith, trust and love for Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior and Lord.
~To enable each child to feel joy and security in a Christ-centered learning environment through prayer, Bible study, and example.
~To encourage regular attendance and participation of both the child and family in Christian worship, prayer, and fellowship.
~To develop each child’s knowledge, strength, and boldness to make good choices and decisions that reflect Christian principles.
~To use professionally trained Christian teachers who, by their words and example, apply Holy Scripture consistent with LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod) teachings, to the total learning environment.
~To achieve the highest possible academic standards.
~To instill in each child a desire to learn and a desire for excellence.
~To develop in each child a sense of belonging, a sense of dignity, a sense of worthiness, and a sense of responsibility for all of God’s creation.
~To train each child to have positive attitudes, self-control, respect for authority, and respect for the rights and privileges of others.
~To support the family unit by nurturing love for its members, to teach respect for parents as God’s representative, and to encourage sharing in the responsibilities and privileges of family life.
