CLASS

Our boys are both enrolled with CLASS. Joshua is in the 11th grade and Jonathan is in 9th grade.

Visit CLASS to find out more information.

This is our second year with CLASS and we are extremely satisfied with their curriculum choices as well as their costs.

They are extremely strict in grading which helps keep us on our toes. I can be confident knowing the boys are getting the best education as possible.

Here's some quick details about CLASS.

" We see from the Scriptures that the God who is sovereign over education has commanded Christian parents to raise up children who know Him, love Him, and follow Him in every area of life. In short, God requires that His children be given a distinctively Christian education. Every subject is to be studied with the purpose of discovering the God-given meaning contained in it."

"The CLASS program is committed to an educational philosophy which is not after the traditions of men, or the principles of this world, but after Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). Christian education means that Christ is central to education. Consequently, our educational theory, methods, and practice must be built upon Christ as their cornerstone. But how can we know Christ apart from His Word which is the truth? The sacred Scriptures are the Word of Christ written. In them God has revealed Himself and His saving purpose in Christ. Because there is only one God and one Christ, there is only one truth. This truth is the center and criterion of Christian education. While the Bible is not used as the textbook in every subject, it is the foundational handbook for every course and the standard for teaching. As the foundational book, Scripture is the only infallible rule for faith and practice, for grammar and literature, for mathematics and science, for health and physical education, for geography and history, and for social studies and the arts. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of God."

canerx79, what in your opinion would you define as 'truth'?

Soli Deo Gloria: For the Glory of God Alone
Solo Christo: By Christ's Work Alone are We Saved
