Philosophy of Education

The Watersprings School Philosophy of Education is based on the truth that God’s word is the standard for all truth, and that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant and authoritative work of God. God has created and sustains all things. Therefore, the universe and man were created by God to glorify Him. Because of the sin nature, man cannot, through his own efforts, know or glorify God. It is only by accepting God’s free gift that man receives salvation through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

As an extension of the Christian home, Watersprings School supports parents who seek to obey Biblical instruction. Parents have the primary responsibility in educating their children in the ways of the Lord. Our purpose is to come alongside parents in that education, transforming and training our students according to the example of our Lord Jesus Christ, so that they can be a godly influence in the world.

For our 6th -12th graders, we take a discipleship approach to prepare our students to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord. In these grades we encourage students to profess Jesus Christ as their Savior and to have a personal walk with Jesus. Regular church attendance is strongly encouraged.

1) Intellectual Development: Wisdom (Romans 12:2) Our goal is to inspire our students to pursue excellence in every subject.

2) Physical Development: Stature (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) We currently offer  a challenging physical education program as well as multiple extra-curricular programs.

3) Spiritual Development: Favor with God (Matthew 22:36-38, Romans 8:29, Acts 2:42, and Matthew 28:19-20) Our goal is to train our students to be disciples in their walk with Christ. To meet this goal of preparing them spiritually in their walk with God, we focus on the areas of prayer, Bible studies, and fellowship. All of our students hear God's Word on a daily basis, are taught how to apply it, and we model how to live out God's Word from a Biblical perspective. 

4) Social Development: Favor with Men (Matthew 22:39-40, 1 Peter 2:17, Matthew 7:12) Our goal is to produce godly young men and women who grow in their relationships with God, their parents, our staff, fellow students and others in their community. Our students lead and are actively involved in outreach and servitude.  We focus on important character traits throughout the year (honesty, trustworthiness, etc.) and train our students how to persevere and do all things with excellence, as unto the Lord.
