STUDENT DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY

“But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

                                                                                      - I Timothy 1:5

Clay Road Baptist School is part of the total program of Clay Road Baptist Church for children and youth. The curriculum is consistent with the Baptist church philosophy of child development. As such, all subjects are taught from a Christian perspective as teachers intentionally integrate the Christian faith into the total curriculum.

Spiritual Enrichment

 

As Christian instruction is at the very heart of our mission, there are several ways we encourage spiritual development. Beginning in preschool, students participate in chapel services, memorize scripture verses, learn Bible stories, recite the American, Bible and Christian Flag pledges, and pray together. Students also participate in the National Day of Prayer and the See You at the Pole ceremony. Additionally, Bible is taught as an academic subject at all grade levels. A prerequisite of all school faculty is a personal relationship with Christ and active involvement in his/her home church. We believe that relationship to be a vital instrument in handling everyday classroom situations.
