Philosophy, Methodology, and Curriculum
The Principle Approach shows how God has used individuals, events, and nations to forward the Gospel and His Government on earth. It reveals God’s great love for humanity and equips students to be key individuals in the restoration of our nation’s Christian foundation and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
Students actively learn through the four R’s of the Principle Approach:
- Research (using the Bible, science, word studies, etc.)
- Reason (using logic, cause-and-effect to seek truth)
- Relate (connecting topics to one another)
- Record (noting ideas, findings, and conclusions)
Students use binders, known as the Notebook Method, to record their work. This method results in a personal library of a student’s own diligence, creativity, learning, and character development.
- Encourage each student’s individuality and the divine purpose it gives him or her
- Empower each student to take responsibility for learning as he or she enjoys the freedom of self-government
- Emphasize recurring principles at every grade level so that students will internalize and fully understand each subject
- Expect each student to grow in respect and love for others as his or her character is shaped by Christ
