There is
ONE Sovereign God
in three persons:
the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
There is
ONE Way of Salvation:
faith in Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
who lived as a man,
died for the sins of all men,
and was resurrected
so that all who believe
in their hearts
and confess Jesus as Lord
with their mouths
will be saved.
There is
ONE Book of Truth:
the Bible,
God's written revelation
to man, authoritative,
reliable, inerrant
and without need
of any other document
to complete its message.
There is
ONE Body:
the Church,
with its many parts
acting in unison.

| Our Faith: Integrating Family, Faith & Learning |
 |  |
We believe that all children should to be led to love and honor God and to make a difference in the world with their special, God-given abilities. Positive virtues should be continuously taught and developed at all levels. Character development and a strong work ethic is especially important in an independent study environment like homeschooling.
Spiritual Development
We believe it is neither possible nor desirable to separate one's faith from other areas of life and other subjects of study. Our public schools have been prevented from teaching Christian values for the past several decades, and the results have been disastrous. We believe a return to core values will help our children grow to be good citizens and great leaders. The teaching and development of Christian principles, values and character qualities will be integrated into activities and classes throughout the program.
We also believe that faith and its expression is a matter of personal choice. We do not desire to force anyone to express a faith they do not embrace. Students will be exposed to a Christian worldview and scripture through their classes, group devotion times and Bible study opportunities. Students and parents who are on site during Devotion time are expected to attend. Students and parents are not required to sign a Statement of Faith.
Our Beliefs
Our organization promotes a Biblical Judeo-Christian worldview. All families are welcome to participate in our program. Participating families must recognize that the program is founded on Christian principles and agree to support our Statement of Faith. This means that parents and students will not promote a worldview that is contradictory to our Statement of Faith.
Non-Denominational Policy
The Extraordinary Education Center organization will include people from a variety of Christian denominations as well as other religious backgrounds. It is inevitable that there will be areas in which people will have differences of opinion about spiritual matters.
Our Statement of Faith is designed to emphasize the areas in which Christians can agree, and de-emphasize the areas which could create divisiveness. Families are not required to sign our Statement of Faith unless a parent desires to serve as a lead teacher or serve in a leadership position.
Although our Statement of Faith is very simple, it is foundational to the values that are interwoven into every aspect of our program. Instructors, staff and those in leadership are required to support our Statement of Faith all times in word and deed while acting as representatives of Extraordinary Education.
Participating families are also expected to support the Statement of Faith, although it is possible that a parent may not be in agreement with or adhere to these beliefs in his or her personal life. Parents and students are expected to support the Statement of Faith while participating in the program and all activities connected with the program.
