Christian Emphasis

"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6

Bible Study
In each grade a period of each day is set aside for specific Bible instruction. The study of the Scripture is suited to the children’s particular needs, interests, and abilities. It is conducted by the teacher in each classroom. Valley Christian Elementary School teaches those truths, which are central to the Christian tradition. Each child is encouraged to internalize his/her Christian faith with understanding and personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as his/her Savior and Lord. Each child learns how to use the Bible and is introduced to the entire spectrum of Biblical truth through a graded program.

Scripture Memorization
Memorization of Scripture is a good mental discipline and is important in guiding positive Christian thoughts and actions. Some children at the age of five have been known to have memorized vast portions of Scripture. A child’s ability to memorize and develop great mental facility is often underestimated. With this in mind, Scripture memorization is encouraged throughout the year.

Prayer
The child is led in the practice of prayer each day, as the school day begins, before lunch, in special need or in time of trouble. He/she learns to pray privately, as well as with a group, and to share his/her needs with others as they share their requests with him/her.

Christian Example and Leadership
Our teachers are well grounded in the Bible and mature Christian living. They come to their profession with a sincere desire to serve the Lord through their teaching and to encourage a consistent Christian atmosphere in the many details of the classroom activities.

Chapel
Chapel is held once a week. Teachers, students, the principal, pastors from the various local churches, and invited guests lead the children in the worship times. Parents are welcome to visit during chapel programs. Call our office for a current chapel schedule at [925] 560-6270 or click here.
