Our student learning expectations are modeled after the growth of Jesus Christ described in Luke 2:52:

“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.”

Based on this, we have structured our student goals in the same four categories:

• wisdom (academic),
• stature (physical),
• favor with God (spiritual), and
• favor with man (social).

Of course, many goals will overlap categories because all lines of our lives converge on a focal point, and that is to become like Jesus Christ.

Wisdom (academic):

• Each student will demonstrate their full potential for academic achievement. 
• Each student will master basic literacy and numeracy appropriate to their grade level. 
• Each student will develop their ability to think critically and creatively. 
• Each student will be able to apply their learning to new situations, as well as develop their ability to solve problems. 
• Each student will learn to evaluate, organize and formulate strategies. 
• Each student will learn basic skills using materials both on paper and on computer. 
• Each student will gain the ability to learn both independently and collaboratively (teamwork). 
• Students returning to their home countries will be able to successfully further their education without interruption.

Favor with man (social):

• Each student will have respectful Christian relationships with others. Students will reflect self-discipline based on that sense of respect.
• Each student will develop an international view of the world by drawing upon the many cultures represented within our school community. Each student will have cross-cultural experiences which foster an understanding, appreciation, and respect for varied peoples and places.
• Each student will acquire the work habits, self-confidence, and maturity they will need to adapt to future changes.

Stature (physical):

• Each student will develop physical skills to their peak ability. 
• Each student will become aware of the importance of all-round physical health and fitness. 
• Each student will practice basic personal healthcare and safety. 
• Each student will understand and appreciate their physical body from both biological and Biblical viewpoints.

Favor with God (spiritual):

• Each student will be in a right relationship with God. 
• Each student will establish Christian values in all areas of life by integrating faith with academic, social, and physical development. 
• Each student will develop a strong foundation of spiritual and moral values.
