At Logos, we provide a challenging academic environment that equips students to exalt and follow Christ in every aspect of their lives. We encourage students to understand God's perfect design in all the subjects we teach and to learn about the world around them through both academic study and Christian principles.
Every student at Logos studies the Bible just as they do grammar or math. It is a graded subject with an established curriculum. However, integrating faith across all subjects is even more significant. For example, when reading a story about frogs, a teacher might show students a blue poison dart frog. The students often respond with expressions of wonder, asking, “Why is that frog blue while other frogs are green?” This provides an opportunity for the teacher to explain, “God made that frog blue because it is very poisonous. Its bright blue color serves as a warning to others to give it space to avoid getting hurt.”
During a calendar discussion this week, a student asked, “What’s Cinco de Mayo?” A simple answer might be that it means May 5, but that wouldn’t fully address the question. The teacher explained that Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s 1862 victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. This was significant because the Mexican army was much smaller and weaker than the French army, yet they still won. This prompted the class to recall a story in the Bible where the smaller and weaker overcame the larger and stronger, leading to eager responses of “David and Goliath! David and Goliath!”
Faith integration doesn't always relate directly to school subjects. When students come to teachers with their personal problems, educators listen and offer advice. At Logos, teachers not only listen and advise, but they also say, “Let’s pray about that together.”
We desire for our students to look to God in all aspects of their lives, and this is evident in our classrooms. We believe that God's character is revealed not only in His Word but also in every facet of His creation. Therefore, we teach that all knowledge is interconnected and can help us understand God Himself.
