MISSION
The mission of In Christ Academy is to partner with families in laying the foundation for preschool students to establish personal Christian faith, foster social and emotional development, and to instill a desire for academic excellence and life-long learning.
VISION
The vision of In Christ Academy is to train up our students in a Christ-centered environment where their cognitive, physical, social-emotional, and spiritual development is purposefully cultivated so that they may grow and go into the destiny God has for them in their families, churches, communities, and the world.
Core Values
We believe that quality Christ-centered education is a part of the process of training our children. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
We believe that for our children to grow to be like Christ they must grow as He did: “In wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52
We believe in Jesus’ words that we are the “salt of the earth [and] the light of the world,” and our purpose is to equip our children to “...let [their] light shine before others, so that they may see [their] good works and give glory to [our] father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
We believe the center of a child’s life and education is their family and the purpose of a Christian Education is to enhance what a family is already pouring into their children. Our desire as a Christian based early learning center is to support our children by supporting their parents and families.
We believe that strong families make strong communities, and our goal as In Christ Academy is to support our families as we educate our children so that in turn we strengthen our communities.
We believe that quality preschool education is developmentally appropriate and engages children in personalized ways.
Cognitive Development - students will be engaged in a custom designed curriculum through teacher-led learning experiences aimed at Kindergarten readiness.
Physical Development - Through play, discovery learning, structured learning centers, hands-on activities and whole group direct instruction, students will grow in their fine and gross motor development.
Social/Emotional/Character Development - Through daily lessons and encouragement from trusted adults, students will develop self-help, self-regulation and self-discipline skills to increase their positive interactions with peers and adults. With the Fruit of the Spirit and the 10 Commandments as themes, students will grow in social skills and gain the confidence needed to build relationships with others.
Musical and Artistic Development - Through arts integration students will be engaged in a variety of age appropriate music and arts activities meant to enhance the learning experience in other content areas and to cultivate their personal creativity.
