Our Educational Philosophy |
|
|
|
The teacher is in charge of the classroom.
The teacher is responsible for providing a structured atmosphere of order in which the
students will learn.
The parent has the authority to administer discipline to their child according to the established procedure listed in the WOGCA Handbook, and within legal parameters.
Homework is assigned regularly and expected to be completed on time.
Our curriculum is designed for the average student and is God centered—emphasizing spiritual truths, morality and patriotism.
Our texts are principally God-centered although we selectively use texts from secular origins. Our teachers are trained to teach our children from a Godly perspective regardless of the material used.
Drill work and memorization are key tools in instruction.
Reading is taught by phonics.
The teacher is professional-mannered but servant-minded.
True learning takes place in this order:
1st-Control
2nd-Communication
3rd-Learning
Rules and standards are neither obsolete nor outdated.
God’s Word is truth.
We stand in opposition to the “progressive” education predominately used in our public schools today, in which the emphasis is upon the following:
Questioning authority.
The innate goodness of man.
The suppression of discipline.
The relativity of all things (including morals).
Omitting God, His Word and prayer from the educational process.
