Why I like teaching at Sahel Academy 

by Mikki Schmidt

Sahel Academy is more than a school; it is a community.  The teachers at Sahel pray for one another and for their students.  It is not uncommon to see teachers bowed in prayer before a special event or during a staff meeting.  It is not uncommon to see students supporting one another in prayer through difficult times or cheering each other on during sporting events or after a musical performance...teachers praying with students before a test, listening, talking, laughing, counseling, encouraging on the grass during a break… 

In the classroom I have the opportunity to challenge students to think about how their studies can be applied to their lives as they seek to be all God created them to be.  Life is about more than academics, but excellence in academics as well as other parts of life, are part of our offering to a loving God.  This God wants a relationship with us.  He wants us to develop the gifts we were created with and use them to benefit others and bring glory to God, our Creator. 

The students at Sahel Academy come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and many have experienced living in several cultures in a short time span. They have incredible experiences and insights to share which make the learning environment all the richer.  They, like all of us, are on their own spiritual journeys and are seeking to better understand themselves, the world, and how they fit into it.  What a privilege to be a part of their discovery process, to learn and grow and serve with them!

“The relationships that are made between student and teachers are sincere and unique.  The spiritual guidance that I receive from my teachers and peers has shaped my heart with the help of the Holy Spirit.
At Sahel, you have a chance to live to be a child of God without persecution or neglect but with encouragement.”
(2008 Student Questionnaire)
