We believe that there is one God eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; that Jesus Christ, through His death on the cross, provided for the redemption of sin through His resurrection and life; and that Jesus Christ is the Lord of every Christian believer.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God with God as the Creator apart from any evolutionary process. We believe that the Bible, God’s Holy Word, serves as an infallible reference for Christian living and must be incorporated into the curricula as well as into the learning experiences in which our students participate.

We believe that the education of children is a process that occurs continuously within the home, the school and the church. Our goal is to help children to become “kingdom of God” seekers and to realize the admonition of Romans 8:29, “that we should be conformed to the image of Christ.” To accomplish this goal, we provide academic preparation and intellectual stimulation and promote personal initiative in the learning process.

We believe it is our God-given mission to encourage and help each child who passes through the halls of Pusch Ridge to develop the spiritual, academic, physical, and social gifts and talents God has given him or her. It is our goal to help each young person to develop a reverence for God and loyalty to American principles of democracy. Our desire is to help young people develop sound morals, spiritual values, ethics, and attitudes that are necessary to having and maintaining a successful, meaningful, and growing Christian life.

We believe that a sound, well-rounded education should be available to each child regardless of sex, creed, or race. Pusch Ridge does not discriminate on the basis of sex, nationality, or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies.

Pusch Ridge Christian Academy admits students of any race, color and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship programs, athletic or other school administered programs.

CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
We believe the following statements to be true for Christian education:

1. Its only foundation is the inerrant, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
   (II Peter 1:19)
    
2. Its concept of truth is based on the absolute truths from the Word of God as opposed to philosophic relativism.
   (II Timothy 3:7)
    
3. Its content is based on the worldview from the Word that Christ is the key, as opposed to humanism where man is the center of all things.
   (Colossians 1:15-18, 2:3)
    
4. Its view of man’s nature is considered to be sinful, as opposed to humanism, which sees everybody as potentially good.
   (Romans 3:23)
    
5. Its objective is Christ-likeness, as opposed to humanism where the objective is to become better only by being educated.
   (Ephesians 4:11-13)
    
6. Its methodology is seen in using absolute standards based on the authority of the Word of God.
   (Proverbs 22:6)
    
7. Its agency is the home, which takes priority in importance over the school.
   (Deuteronomy 6:5-7, 4:9)
    
8. Its dynamic is the Holy Spirit working through the lives of Christian teachers.
   (Luke 6:40)
