Educational Philosophy

At Langley Christian School we strive to integrate our mission and vision into all facets of our students’ lives: our Biblical worldview is the foundation of everything we do.  The fundamentals of that worldview are…

God the Father created this world, continues to care for it and will fully restore it in the future. He invites us to be partners in understanding and taking care of His creation.  As we learn more about God’s creation, we respond with wonder and awe at the intricate beauty of His work.

All of God’s creation has been distorted because of our rebellion against God.   The effects of sin are evident in creation and culture.  We need to recognize our personal and communal sin and our deep need for repentance. 

Jesus Christ is proclaimed as our Lord and Saviour.  Through faith in Christ we can be restored to a right relationship with God.  Since we cannot overcome sin on our own we need to seek Christ’s redemptive grace.  As we acknowledge our sinfulness we also learn how to respond to others with justice, compassion and a desire for reconciliation.

The Holy Spirit works in each of us throughout our lives, making us more and more like Christ. Rather than being conformed to this world we are transformed through the Spirit and in turn we are called to transform the world.

The Christian school is a community that represents the body of Christ.  As members of the same body we recognize our dependence on each other as we grow in our faith.  Within this community each student, staff member and parent is valued and respected as an image bearer of God.

As a Christian community we seek to understand our world and to see Christ’s redemptive work in our society.  We use age-appropriate literature, media, and music to help our students develop discernment and a mature Biblical critique of our culture.
