Our Values
To accomplish our mission, the school’s philosophy, policies and practices are to provide competent instruction and to reflect the Christian faith, without apology, based on the following convictions:
Truth
All truth is a manifestation of God’s sovereignty in creation. This school proclaims God in its educational program and conveys to its students that God is interested in and sovereign over every aspect of their lives and that there is no division between spiritual and secular knowledge and experience.
Active Faith
God and His truth are the basis for the educational program. Students should respond to God with the appropriate use of acquired skills and knowledge. Responding to God is a process - one in which each of us, as prompted by the Holy Spirit, becomes increasingly more active than passive.
Biblical Worldview
All of life is governed by God. Therefore, whatever a student learns has God as its point of reference. The school presents to the student a viewpoint of life and the world from God’s perspective. This is called a Biblical or Christian worldview.
Relationships
Accumulated knowledge and skill proficiency have direct bearing on three fundamental relationships of life: 1) to God; 2) to others (as well as oneself); 3) to one’s environment (creation). It is growth in this response process which leads to the fulfillment of a person’s calling from God to understand, shape, use, preserve, and enjoy God’s creation in a life of service to God through service of one’s fellow man.
Our
Mission
The mission of Winter Garden Christian Academy is to partner with Christian families as they raise their children to encounter, grow, and live out their Christian faith by providing a high-quality education encompassing a Biblical worldview, authentic worship, student discipleship, and real-world Christ-like application.
