Clearview Christian School is a ministry of Clearview Baptist Church. As such, it adheres to the Doctrinal Statement of Clearview Baptist Church. Teachers and administrative staff at Clearview Christian School must be born-again Christians who are consciously committed to Jesus Christ, knowing their lives serve as examples to those whom they teach.

Recognizing that the primary responsibility for education rests with parents (Psalm 78:5,6), Clearview Christian School serves as an extension of the family to aid parents in this task. As such, the school adheres to Biblical principles of child rearing and discipline (Ephesians 6:1-4); (Proverbs 22:6; Colossians 3:20,21).

The philosophy of Clearview Christian School is based on the premise that man’s ultimate purpose is to glorify God (I Corinthians 6:19,20; 10:31). Clearview Christian School exists to help each student reach his full potential by guiding him in developing spiritually and morally, personally, socially, and academically (Luke 2:52). The faculty and staff recognize that only when a student accepts Christ as Savior and yields to His Lordship can he realize his own unique potential (Romans 10: 10-13).

Education and learning are Biblical imperatives (Duet. 6:5,7; Proverbs 3:1-9); therefore, all instruction at Clearview Christian School is Biblically based (Duet. 4:2-9). The specific content grows from the following:

1. God’s mandate for creation of mankind to have dominion over the earth (Gen. 1:1; 26-28); requiring learning in the areas of language, mathematics, the physical and natural sciences, technology, and the fine arts

2. the hostile environment resulting from the fall of man (Gen. 3: 9-24); intensifying his need to understand more deeply all of the curricular areas, as well as the social and health-related sciences and the study of God’s written Word

3. the command for Christians to evangelize the lost and to discipline believers (Matt. 28: 18-20); to further elevate the need to master all of the above areas.

Clearview Christian School seeks to develop young men and women who think and adhere to a Christian world view (Psalm 24:1), and participate as Godly members of home, church, and society.

Our Purpose

Clearview Christian School exists to support parents and guardians in their Biblical responsibility to nurture and train their children.
