PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION


In accordance with the Bible, Murree Christian School holds that:


1. God is the source of all truth. Christian education is about the quest for truth. God reveals the nature of truth in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ. He gives the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth.
2. God is the source of all knowledge. Christian education is about the quest for knowledge. God has made himself known in history in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ. He gives the Holy Spirit to make himself known personally in the present.
3. God is the source of all wisdom. Christian education is about the quest for wisdom, the ability to use knowledge to the honour of God. The humility of God\'s wisdom is demonstrated in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
4. People do not exist in a spiritual, moral or social vacuum. They are created by God to live in right relationship with Him, with others and with the world.
5. A person cannot be educated into a right relationship with God. It is the sovereign work of God to change the human heart. Christian education is about seeking truth, excellence in the pursuit of knowledge, and growing in wisdom through discipleship.
6. The school\'s most vital role is to provide a caring, learning environment in which young people are able to find and develop an authentic, Christ-centred relationship with God.
Murree Christian School seeks to recognize:


1. The unique value, gifts and abilities of each individual student and staff member.
2. The value of the families it serves.
3. Differences in the learning styles and abilities; physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development; and cultural orientations of its students.
Murree Christian School strives to:


1. Serve and support the Christian mission community by providing relevant, quality educational services for the children of missionaries, primarily in a Christian boarding school setting.
