The most efficient path to achieve discovery is through
inquiry. Here I go…
Is there a school or learning community that is set up to
meet the demands of Jesus’ calling? In Matthew 5:13-16, we are called to be
salt and light. Can we provide a school that allows our children to explore
their relationship with God in the continuous discovery of whom He has made
them to be and also experience authentic opportunities to be a light bearer?
Can we bring kids up in the way God has planned and at the same time allow God
to orchestrate his purpose in each individual.
Currently, we have the public school system in great need of
salt and light. In separate confines we have some private Christian schools
where the "salt" is being taught to bring out the best in the world around them and the spark and kindle are
provided to fuel the "light". BUT, are these lights displaying their greatest capacity in the
darkness?
I envision a learning community who encourages each
individual in their own journey, while students embrace their God-given
uniqueness through authentic interactions with the world around them.
Here we will have the Curiosity to Inquire, Determination to Discover, and an
Eagerness to Apply!
It’s been said, “What gets measured, gets done.” Our public
schools are putting limits on what we can do through their standardized
assessments. Our form of measurement must allow for the whole child to shine,
not just in how they can communicate one limited type of intelligence with
pencil and paper. Might our students' development and growth be limitless!
