PHILOSOPHY
OF EDUCATION: THE WHOLE CHILD
A true education provides relevant and balanced curricular offerings to cultivate growth in the spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, and creative areas of life.
At CPA, we focus on the unique design of each student and how he / she learns, lives in community, and expresses his / her unique identity in the broader culture. The cognitive process of learning is facilitated through vibrant and diverse program offerings built on both research and demonstrated excellence.
Instructors who are experts in their fields and who walk intimately with Jesus teach each educational program through a holistic approach. This unique approach not only seeks to help students discover who God made them to be but also understand the purpose of being salt and light in contemporary culture as a part of God’ s restoration plan.
SPIRITUAL
EVERY HUMAN is a spiritual being, created for fellowship with God and man. This relationship is initiated only through a personal relationship with Christ. Spiritual maturity for a follower of Christ is a life of progressive refinement. Spiritual growth is nurtured through prayer, the study of scripture, obedience to God, and fellowship with believers. Spiritual maturity is achieved by the power of the Holy Spirit.
EMOTIONAL
EVERY HUMAN is an emotional being with a God-given set of unique affections and feelings. It is through faith in Christ and fellowship with other believers, that individuals can fully appreciate their feelings and discern appropriate emotional responses to daily life. Instructors help students grow in emotional maturity through pursuant love, authentic relationships, and application of scripture.
