Excel Christian Academy

The basis of our educational philosophy is grounded in certain academic assumptions. We believe that our students should learn the material presented in the curriculum for his/her grade level. Each student should gain a thorough comprehension and command of the fundamental core classes as well as processes used in communicating and dealing with others, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and mathematics. Further, we seek to develop within each child independent and critical thought, a positive self-image, self-discipline, an awareness of the culture in which we live, expertise in educational technology, and an appreciation of aesthetic values.

ECAs educational philosophy is also rooted in particular theological assumptions. We believe that God is self-existent and seeks a personal relationship with all people. We maintain that He is the Creator and sustainer of the universe. Further, we assert that God has made Himself known to humanity through His creation, through the written revelation of the Scriptures, and through the historical person of His Son, Jesus Christ. With respect to our view of man, we believe that man was created in Gods image. However, through willful rebellion against Gods standards of righteousness, man fell, and became alienated from God. Through the sacrificial and atoning death of Christ Jesus, God provided the means of reconciliation and restoration. We believe that the basis for right living and ethics is found in God himself and is revealed to man in Scripture. Therefore, we maintain that Scripture is essential in teaching and guiding young minds to make wise choices in daily living.
