PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:

The philosophy of Math is to empower students to thoroughly subdue and rule over all that exists in God’s creation. Students discover the orderliness of this field of study as they are shown that they live in a worlddesigned by an intelligent, loving Creator. Each child discovers his place in Creation as he comes to realize that his sense of worth comes from God. Mathematics conveys a sense of the consistency of God, that God and His Word can be trusted. When students come to understand that their created purpose is to give God glory in all things, they will discover that certain aspects of God's glory are revealed best through mathematics. The pursuit of academic excellence in mathematics becomes a mandate as they seek to obey God's commands to “subdue the earth”, fulfill the Great Commission by harnessing technology for godly purposes, and to live a selfless life of service to God and others.

COURSE TITLE: Heritage StudiesGRADE LEVEL: 2nd

COURSE LENGTH: 1 Semester

MAIN TEXT: Heritage Studies 2 – 2nd Edition

TITLE: Heritage Studies 2- Working Together in the Colonies

PUBLISHER: Bob Jones UniversityPress COPYRIGHT: 1996

PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT:

The philosophy of History is to empower students with a Biblical worldview of God’s interaction with mankind. History is a systematic study, and careful report, of some portion of human experience, in which an attempt is made to understand the inter-relationships and relative significance of the components of that experience, all with a view to a better understanding of human behavior, character, and destiny. The study of history should include a comprehensive and intensive interaction with major events, developments, patterns, and themes throughout the period, culture, or location at hand, keeping ever before the student both the change and the continuity to be evaluated in said study. As an educational discipline within the framework of a Biblical worldview, historical study rests upon the premise of a three-fold nature of history; namely, that it is intelligible, that it is meaningful, and that it is teleological. Understanding such, the student should be both challenged and encouraged to make the greatest personal contribution to the playing out of history possible.
