Academic Philosophy & Expectation • Master’s Academy assumes that all children can learn • Children can be taught to learn and to work if they do not know how. • Master’s Academy must have high expectations, as students will do what we expect of them. • Faculty should use class time wisely and completely, as our students have a huge amount of academic ground to make up. • Master’s Academy should use assessments and take test results seriously. It is impossible to be a credible academic institution if you do not know how students are performing and how your school in particular is affecting their performance. Discipline Philosophy • Help students change their behavior. • Demonstrate love to them through educating them about appropriate behaviors. • Help them gain confidence in their ability to change and to provide them with accountability to do so. • Help them overcome destructive patterns and behaviors that will keep them from succeeding. • Provide a safe learning and work environment for students and teachers. Master’s Academy needs to be a safe place for everyone. • Prepare them for the world. • Provide them with dignity by allowing them to make their own choices/decisions. Spiritual Philosophy • Master’s Academy is designed as an outreach ministry. • Administrators and staff must understand that the majority of the students they will serve are not going to enroll as Christians. • Students often claim to have a variety of religious backgrounds, but most often are not well versed in the faith. • Faculty and staff need to pray regularly for the Holy Spirit’s guidance as they approach students about spiritual issues. • Faculty and staff need to understand that is it the advocate’s responsibility to know where their students are spiritually and to model Christianity for them on a one-on-one basis. • Faculty and staff must make their devotional and prayer life a priority so they can stand against the devil’s schemes as they are played out in the lives of students. • As faculty and staff discuss Christianity with students, they should stick to the essentials and avoid the non-essentials. |
