Philosophy
 
 
Liberty Christian Academy is a ministry of Thomas Road Baptist Church. As such, it adheres to the Doctrinal Statement of Thomas Road Baptist Church. Teachers and administrative staff at Liberty Christian Academy must be born-again Christians who are consciously committed to Jesus Christ, knowing their lives serve as examples to those whom they teach.

Recognizing that the primary responsibility for education rests with parents (Psalm 78:5,6), Liberty Christian Academy serves as an extension of the family to aid parents in this task. As such, the Academy adheres to Biblical principles of child rearing and discipline (Ephesians 6:1-4; Proverbs 22:6; Colossians 3:20,21).

The philosophy of Liberty Christian Academy is based on the premise that man’s ultimate purpose is to glorify God (I Corinthians 6:19,20; 10:31). Liberty Christian Academy exists to help each student reach his full potential by guiding him in developing spiritually and morally, personally, socially, and academically (Luke 2:52). The faculty and staff recognize that only when a student accepts Christ as Savior and yields to His Lordship can he realize his own unique potential (Romans 10:10-13). Education and learning are Biblical imperatives (Deuteronomy 6:6,7; Proverbs 3:1-9); therefore, all instruction at Liberty Christian Academy is Biblically based (Deuteronomy 4:2-9). The specific content grows from the following:

  God’s mandate at creation for mankind to have dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:1; 26-28), requiring learning in the areas of language, mathematics, the physical and natural sciences, technology, and the fine arts.

 
  The hostile environment resulting from the fall of man (Genesis 3:9-24), intensifying his need to understand more deeply all of the curricular areas, as well as the social- and health-related sciences and the study of God’s written Word.

 
  The command for Christians to evangelize the lost and to disciple believers (Matthew 28:18-20), further elevating the need to master all of the above areas.


Liberty Christian Academy seeks to develop young men and women who think Christianly, adhere to a Christian world view (Psalm 24:1), and participate as godly members of home, church, and society.
