About Faith Academy
~ Purpose Statement ~
Faith Academy was established as an integral part of Vacaville
Bible Church in the fall of 1979.
The goal from the beginning has been to assist families in fulfilling their
Biblical mandate to train their children up
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. This training does not occur only on
Sunday, but every day of the week.
We desire to be used of God to influence and train young
people to pursue excellence in their academics as well as
their relationship with God, family, their church family, and all others.
Our goal is not solely to train good sons and daughters or
academically accomplished students, but rather to train
Godly young people prepared to serve in the place of God's calling.
~ Educational Philosophy ~
1. We believe that the Bible Clearly instructs parents,
not the church or state, to "bring them up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord." Therefore, we seek to teach and discipline in a manner
consistent with the Bible and a godly
home environment.
2. God wants us to love Him with our mind as well as with our
heart, soul, and strength (Matt. 22:37). Therefore,
we seek to individually challenge children at all levels and teach them how
to learn, versus teaching them to learn by
unthinking repetition.
3. We want to help parents teach their children that all they
do should be done "heartily, as unto the Lord." Therefore,
we seek to encourage quality academic work and maintain high standards of
conduct. This includes Biblical discipline
principles.
4. We have a full K-12 program because we believe that as long
as a child is under the parents' authority and under-
going formal education, he should be trained biblically (Deut. 6:6,7; Prov.
22:6).
