The Board of Directors, Administration, and Faculty of Phoenix Christian Unified Schools believe the school to be an extension of the home and the church for the purpose of educating students who have a desire to be educated in a Christian-oriented atmosphere. Phoenix Christian Unified Schools' view of life is based upon the Bible as God’s only infallible written revelation to man.
Education is directed toward an understanding of God, man, and the universe and their interrelated natures. Therefore, the relationship of the Bible to the humanities and science is emphasized.
Students are taught to live a disciplined life under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Discipline based on God’s Word is administered firmly in Christian love.
Non-Christian viewpoints are presented to enable students to evaluate all knowledge critically and develop their ability to discern right from wrong. Students are challenged to develop their talents for the honor of God and the service of others in all areas of life. Therefore, the Christian school broadens its influence within the communities in which the students live.
Christian schools are a place where parents and educators choose to partner together to educate young people from a like-minded Christian worldview. Christian schools challenge students to critically examine what they think and believe in the context of how God sees them, as His creation. In Christian schools, students learn to see the world through the lens of the Word of God. Christian educators don't avoid the world; but rather, help students see it just the way it is: Created by God, distorted by sin, and restored again in Christ. Learning academic and life lessons in this manner is learning to use the truths of the Bible to interpret and respond to the world.
Contrary to popular opinion, Christian schools exist, not as a rescue, protection, or isolation strategy; but rather as a teaching and excellent training ground that strives to educate young people in light of God's Word and in light of eternity. In short, Christian schools enable parents to educate their children as God would expect them, if they were doing it themselves. This training ground has certain truths that differ based on either biblical or secular educational perspectives.
