A foundation for learning and living

Your child’s education shapes how they understand the world and make decisions. At SFC, we seek to develop knowledgeable students who can express themselves clearly and live with God-honoring character.

Grounded in God’s Word

Education at SFC is based on the traditional Christian approach, in contrast to humanistic, progressive systems of education. It is grounded in the person and character of God as revealed in His Word through the leading of the Holy Spirit, in a spiritual atmosphere that recognizes God as the supreme source of all knowledge and wisdom.

What we teach

We believe the content of Christian education must be in harmony with “whatsoever things are true…honest…just…pure…lovely… [and] of good report…” (Philippians 4:8).

How we teach

Classroom methods are teacher-directed (Deuteronomy 6:7), with students acquiring knowledge through studying (II Timothy 2:15), researching (John 5:39), reasoning (Acts 24:25), relating (Luke 24:27), and recording (III John 12).

The goal

We seek to develop articulate, knowledgeable students of God-honoring character, in harmony with God’s Truth and with each student’s God-given personality, potential, and abilities.
