Educational Philosophy

Olivet New Church School offers a broad education in basic skills and knowledge for Preschool through Grade 5 students. It also seeks to develop the spiritual life of its students through daily worship services and the integration of religious principles into all areas of the curriculum. The most unique feature of Olivet New Church School, though, is the environment - one of love, respect and spiritual charity, which we work hard to maintain throughout the school.

We strive to provide this distinctive environment for our students in order to give them a school that is safe and orderly; a place that stimulates learning; a place where they are respected and are encouraged to respect others; and a school in which children can grow and be nurtured by a group of adults who serve as positive role models for them.

This environment is of utmost importance to us as we work to protect the innocence which is the Lord's own with each human being. The Lord and His teachings are the core of our educational philosophy at Olivet. We strive daily to provide children with a greater understanding of their Creator and His relationship with the world and with them. Our intention in doing this is to cultivate within each child an affection for the Lord and confidence in Him and the teachings contained in His Word.

One of the ways we express our love for the Lord is by living lives of useful participation in society. At Olivet we work closely with parents to give the children the skills they need in order to be caring and capable members of our society.

We believe that a child's primary education is the learning that begins and continues through a child's life, in the home. As a result, all of the programming at Olivet New Church School is considered to be an extension of the work done in the homes of our school community, places where the Lord and His teachings are held in the highest regard, and individuals are working together to order their lives in accord with those teachings.

We work very hard to offer spiritual and secular nourishment in a sphere of charity and safety.
