The Wayne Christian School Difference
Education is one of the most important investments you will make in your child’s life. At Wayne Christian School, we believe that your child’s spiritual growth is just as important as his or her academic advancement and that Christ is to be the leader in learning and in life. Since it’s foundation in 1987, Wayne Christian School’s mission has been to partner with parents and churches in the education of children from a Biblical worldview to impact their world for Christ. Our vision and mission guide all of our instruction, curriculum, and interactions with students and families. We invite you to discover how Wayne Christian can equip your child for a life of Christian discipleship, leadership, and service.
Our Mission
Wayne Christian School is a Christ-centered community school whose mission is to assist parents and churches in the education of children from a Biblical worldview to impact their world for Christ.
Our Vision
Our vision includes three goals: to treasure Christ in all we do, to train the minds of our students, and to transform lives as those we meet encounter Jesus.
Our Values
The fulfillment of our mission is guided by these core values:
Accountability
As created beings we are accountable to God, our creator. The Bible teaches us that the saved will all stand and give an account of their faithfulness as servants. (2 Corinthians 5:9-10) The unsaved, will receive eternal punishment for their rejection of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 20:12) We are accountable to God. As our ultimate authority, God has delegated authority to the home, the government, and the Church. God expects us to submit to these authorities as unto Himself. (Romans 13:1)
Integrity
The manner in which we live our lives is testimony to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We must be an example of the believer in every thing we say and everything we do. Integrity is a vital part of our Christian witness. (1Timothy 4:12)
Purity of Heart
The Scriptures teach that though man looks on the outward appearance, God looks upon the heart. (1Sam 16:7) God does not judge us by our behavior alone but by the heart motive behind our actions (Matthew 15:17-20). God honors clean hands and a pure heart. (Psalm 24:3-5)
Progressive Sanctification
Christ-likeness is not a one-time event or something that happens overnight.
(2 Corinthians 5:17) Christ-likeness is progressive and comes through a lifestyle of submission to the Holy Spirit and consistently hearing and doing God’s Word.
(James 1:22-25)
Servanthood
Jesus Christ left us an example of servant love for one another. (John 13:12-17)
We are to sacrificially serve others out of a heart motivated by love, denying self, which is an ear-mark of those who truly follow Christ. (John 13:35) True servanthood can not be manufactured in the flesh but is a byproduct of a life lived in submission to the Holy Spirit.
Our Purpose
Wayne Christian School exists to assist Christian families in the God-given responsibility of rearing their children in the discovery of the wonders of God’s world and the wisdom in God’s Word. As a Christ-centered community school, we recognize that the primary responsibility for nurturing and training children falls upon the parents. WCS will facilitate each child’s spiritual, academic, social, moral, and physical development through an educational experience in which the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of the Bible are applied to all areas of the curriculum. The school’s motto is “In pursuit of wisdom and knowledge”. The motto conveys the school’s dual focus of teaching students about Christ and the world He created and preparing them for a life of service to Him. By the grace of God, Wayne Christian School will fulfill the following responsibilities:
1. Provide a quality education through a quality curriculum.
2. Lead children into a personal and saving relationship with God the Father through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
3. Foster trust in and obedience to the Word of God.
4. Teach the implications of Biblical truth to every area of life.
5. Develop in the students the proper attitudes toward God, themselves, family members, others, the local church, and their country.
Our Philosophy of Christian Education
Christianity affirms that God is the source of all truth and His glory, the end of all learning; therefore, Wayne Christian School believes that education is experiencing knowledge through the prism of this divine truth. As an educational institution, we accept the responsibility of providing a quality education through qualified instructors and a viable curriculum. As a Christian institution, our educational objectives are founded upon the biblical themes of inspiration, creation, God, redemption, man, wisdom and knowledge, reality and life, and parental accountability.
- Wayne Christian School believes that God is and is Creator of all, the single source of all things-the premise upon which all reality is determined and education is centered. The learners, the learning, the learning environment, all are meaningful as means and ends to the glory of God. Therefore, the ultimate objective of education is to know God and please Him in knowledge, thought, and experience.
- The Bible, God’s Word, is the indisputable revelation of God. It reveals and explains the person and purposes of God. It is the foundation of education: an indispensable source of knowledge and wisdom. Therefore, the understanding of Scripture is a primary educational purpose.
- God revealed Himself not only in creation and the Bible, but in the persons of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Through His Son Jesus Christ, God the Father redeems those who believe from sin and death which are the consequences of the fall. Believers are new creations restored to God’s order through His Spirit. The Holy Spirit as divine Teacher, enables the Christian to understand truth and to live an obedient live in submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. None can boast of a complete educational program when deprived of this understanding.
- Our motto is “in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge.” To Wayne Christian School, knowledge is the understanding and unity of information. Information is the particulars of how creation works and consists. This information brings an awe and respect for God and His purposes; therefore, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge…” (Proverbs 1:7).
- Along with knowledge, Wayne Christian School pursues wisdom as an underlying objective in education. Wisdom is the skill needed to make life’s decisions, develop character, and practically apply God’s Word to life. In other words, instruction and learning must be relevant to the concerns of our times and the issues of life.
- Wayne Christian School is an extension of the Christian family. We share in the parent’s divine obligation to nurture children in the truth, to protect them from the error of relativism, the evil of anarchy, and the spirit of secularism. Therefore, we in loco parentis, serve as teachers to our students.
- As a Christian educational institution, we acknowledge our responsibility to provide for our students a safe, nondiscriminatory environment which is conducive to learning; and a curriculum that acknowledges the varied phases of human learning and development. To accomplish these objectives, we strive to maintain a capable faculty who serve as role models for their students by maintaining personal and spiritual balance in their lives. We also enjoy the benefits of strong parental involvement.
Wayne Christian School is committed to this philosophy of education on behalf of those children and young people entrusted to us.
