Christ-Centred Education
In
the mission statement there is a very small phrase that is a very big part of
education at DCCS. The first part of the
mission is to provide a quality, Christ-Centred education. The
fact that we provide a Christ-Centred education is, I am sure, not a surprise
to most. Even so, it is worth mentioning
because it is so closely tied to our identity.
Every education model is tied to an ideology and expresses faith in
something. At DCCS we educate our children from a Christian perspective in each
of the subjects. It is not a matter of
adding a few Bible verses that may relate to the content. We strive to have our teachers engaging our
students in biblical themes and from a solid biblical worldview. Christ is at the centre of each subject. At times I have been asked, “Well isn’t math
still math in the public school system?
Isn’t 2+2 still 4?” I think the answer is yes, math is still math in the
public schools because the Lord is Lord of all.
The bigger question may be, why is 2+2 always 4? We ask you to pray for our teachers who work
at making these connections in the classrooms and to God’s creation with and
for our students.
