Our highly trained staff members provide Bible based, multi-sensory, research proven, technology integrated pedagogy. Every teacher has a credential in early childhood or K-12 education and our administrators have credentials in educational program administration. Our staff members are highly qualified in preparing young learners for STREAM careers. STREAM fields are science, technology, religion and/or robotics, engineering, art, and mathematics. STREAM curricula integrate concepts and skills development throughout the program in order to teach students to think critically and use engineering or technology in imaginative designs or creative approaches to real-world problems while building on students' mathematics and science basis. We know that learning is easier when you have an excellent teacher. That's why most of our educators have achieved an advanced degree in their field. Our faculty are passionate about the subjects they teach and bring this enthusiasm into their lessons.
The STREAM instructional strategies fill in some critical gaps left by the STEM approach. STREAM, as you may have noticed, adds the letter A and R. The A stands for the Arts, R represents religious vocations and the field of robotics. Training for ministry must include doctrinal studies and hands-on training in the art of discipleship. Jesus gave His church the job of making disciples of the nations (Matt 28:10-18). This starts by evangelism resulting in baptized members of the Church. Then it is completed by teaching these disciples everything that Jesus taught so that they will be like Jesus and the Father through the Spirit’s resurrection power. Jesus did this with the twelve Apostles. Jesus did this with Paul. Paul did this with Timothy, Titus, and others. Timothy did this with faithful men as Paul instructed him to do. This is the true apostolic succession. This is mandated for officers (2 Tim 2:2) and others in the body (Eph 4:1-16) (Titus 2:3-5).
