20) The Noah Plan® Commitment

Every student is uniquely precious to the Lord and to us as parents or educators. We believe that each one is chosen and placed in our care for eternal purposes. Therefore, we agree to the following sacred commitment:

1. The Noah Plan® is Committed to the Spiritual Growth of Our Students. We are committed to developing the spiritual stature of our students, bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord unto the fullest respective stature their tender years afford. The Biblical Principle Approach® does not just integrate truth into the subject content, or “tack on” a Christian appearance—it approaches the subject assuming that all knowledge is the knowledge of God and then identifies the principles of the subject that reflect that knowledge, whether it is in algebra, phonics, basketball, or study habits. All of our curricula and methods cultivate our children unto full spiritual stature
2. The Noah Plan® is Committed to Academic Excellence. We are committed to academic excellence, cultivating the fullest expression of the individual through instruction, inspiration, and consecration in intellectual, physical, and artistic pursuits. This is accomplished in the classroom by establishing excellent standards, an enlightened curriculum, and by the practice of reflective learning, Biblical reasoning, writing, and reading. The tutorial emphasis allows every child to learn by receiving help or enrichment as needed. In athletics, art, orchestra, drama, speech, chorus, as well as in every academic subject, we call for the Standard of Christ in whom resides all excellence.
3. The Noah Plan® Is Committed to Character Development. We are committed to the character development of every student, bringing to bear the discipline and conviction of Christian self-government. True Christian character is a thing of great beauty and value. All the spiritual knowledge, academic achievement, or athletic prowess in the world cannot succeed without a character molded and strengthened by truth unto usefulness. We design classroom procedures, teaching methods, policies, discipline techniques, athletic programs, and dress code with this goal in mind. Our curriculum is filled with models of great character which inspire and offer vision to our students. We encourage the concern of a community of parents unified by common values and principles for mutual support.

The Noah Plan® Is Committed to Leadership Skills for Service. We are committed to cultivating leadership skills for service in the next generation. Leadership is serving! We envision that every student will learn to reach outside himself or herself to offer a unique contribution to the lord, becoming others-centered, and taking a responsible place in God’s greater purposes.
