Educational Philosophy

At KIU Academy, we believe that the Creator God, the God Who spoke all matter, energy, and time into existence, is the source of absolute truth. He reveals this truth in His special revelation, the Bible, and through His incarnation in the person of Jesus Christ. As creatures bearing His image, we are responsible to act on His truths in every facet of our lives, including in our relationship with Him through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, and with others.

At KIU Academy, we believe that our students are created in the image of God. In this we believe that they reflect His qualities in that they are active, purposeful, rational, creative, moral, and with free will. Because of this, we believe that it is important to craft lessons that allow students to recognize these qualities and use them in ways that would please our Creator.

At KIU Academy, we believe that all students have a worldview in conjunction with being rational and moral and having free will. We want to help our students recognize their worldview and compare it with a Biblical worldview. Since students are exposed to media and information that mostly promote a non-biblical worldview, we plan to expose them to biblical principles by integrating them in our lessons and helping them to identify the differences.

At KIU Academy, we believe that teachers should approach all that they do from an eternal frame of reference. Their interactions with children through the curriculum, discipline, classroom management, instructional practices, etc. should be considered to have eternal significance. As teachers we should strive to love our students as God loves us.

At KIU Academy, we believe that we are assisting the parents in the education and development of their child. We believe that the ultimate responsibility for the education, behavior, and development of the child belongs to the parent. However, as far as our abilities and resources allow, we will help parents in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the training of their children.
