Not just a "new school" - a "new" school!

Right relationships, maturity, and True affections must be redeemed as the aims of education. "It is not good for man to be alone" is the heart of the Gospel. We are created to be cared for and to care for others. Right relationships speak the language of the New Covenant; grace instead of earning, love without conditions, acceptance and commitment without measurement or manipulation. "Education is the science of relations." (C. Mason) We were created to mature, not to perform. Maturity is a different target than performance. When we aim at performance, maturity rarely happens. When we aim at maturity, performance is a natural outcome. Maturity can begin at any starting line; it will happen both slowly and quickly, not at a predetermined speed. When we abide in healthy relationships, maturity will result and fruit is our Biblical promise. We are created to care - not just know. What we care about, we think about; what we think about, we chase. Affections are caught, not taught. The atmosphere children breathe in will determine what they love. Children will be better learners when they are better lovers. Right relationships, maturity, and True affections must be redeemed as the aims of education.
