The Beth Haven Christian School is a church-sponsored, private
Christian School. The primary objective and purpose of the school is to train the student in
the knowledge of God and the Christian way of life and to give the student an excellent education.
Schools such as ours are an American heritage; they helped mold the character of great patriots
and statesmen who established the United States.
A personal knowledge of the all-wise God and His Son, Jesus Christ, is indispensable to a
character-building education. Total education involves mental and spiritual training. A statement by
Theodore Roosevelt is significant: "To educate a man in mind and not morals is to educate a menace
to society." The great American educator, Noah Webster, said, "Education is useless without the Bible."
Man, as a product of Divine Creation, demands educational training related to God and the Bible.
The responsibility of the faculty at Beth Haven, therefore, is this: It is the solemn realization that,
under God, we are molding lives and character, and that we are personally responsible for each student
receiving a good foundation for life that lies ahead.
Attendance at Beth Haven Christian School is a privilege, not a right. The goals of this school are
not to reform but to train Christian youth of every ability in the highest principles of Christian leadership,
self-discipline, individual responsibility, integrity, and good citizenship. Beth Haven stands, without
apology, for the Gospel and the highest standards of morality and Christian behavior.
There may be times when your child will experience disagreements with and opposition to Beth
Haven standards as we seek to guide him toward Christian maturity and achievement of academic
ability. Such times may cause misunderstanding between the home and the school. Beth Haven
Christian School personnel look upon these moments of difficulty as opportunities to work more closely
with your family so that we might be able to fulfill your expectations of Beth Haven for your child. We
hope that with you we might have the privilege of drawing out and cultivating your child's God-given
strengths, while minimizing his weaknesses. In the final analysis, we trust he will find God's purpose for
his or her life.
