Question:
Describe the curriculum of Garden Homes Lutheran.
Answer:
Our school has been founded on the firm foundation of God’s Word. Therefore, children attending our school receive a thorough course in Religion. Religion, however, is not just a segregated subject in the day’s work. The Word of God radiates and shines through all of the various subject areas that are taught. Every subject in a Christian school is informed by the principles articulated in God’s Word. Every lesson opens a window into some aspect of God’s creation and helps students see God’s hand in the world around them. Every day brings new opportunities for students to grow in their knowledge of God, and in their desire to serve Him and their neighbor. Every class helps children and young people prepare to take their place as citizens of God’s kingdom, bringing God’s reconciling love to a world that should acknowledge Him as Creator, Savior, and Comforter.
