Educational Philosophy and Purpose

The heart of our philosophy at Lakeway Christian Schools is well reflected by 15th century Christian scholar Desiderius Erasmus, who stated that all studies, philosophy and rhetoric, and the end of all knowledge and eloquence are for this purpose: “that we would know Christ and honor Him”.
At Lakeway Christian Schools (also referred to as LCS), we believe that this goal and our mission are accomplished best when parents, pastors, and teachers are speaking with one voice. Therefore, we have chosen a discipleship model in which LCS is working alongside Christian families who are in agreement with our stated core doctrines, philosophies, and principles. Our intent is to communicate the truth, train the mind, and cultivate the heart in a Christ-honoring atmosphere.

We recognize that God has ordained parents as the agents responsible for the academic and spiritual nurturing of their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-7). At LCS, we endeavor to assist parents with this goal by presenting a Christ-centered and biblical worldview which teaches children to love God with all their heart, mind, soul, and strength.

We believe in fostering an attitude among our faculty and staff and students that all they do should be done "heartily, as unto the Lord.” Therefore, we require high quality standards of academics and conduct. This includes biblical discipline principles. Further, it applies to the academic, spiritual, physical, and social growth of each child.

We believe that God's character is revealed not only in His Word but also in every facet of the creation (Romans 1:19-20). Therefore, we teach that all knowledge is interrelated (integrated) and can instruct us about God himself. With this understanding, we ascribe to a methodology and philosophy of education that brings about the highest results of educational excellence.
