Our Philosophy of Education

God and His Word are central to every aspect of life. Education is truly about preparation for life; every aspect of education finds its completeness in God and His Word.  

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10

Our Foundation of Education

In the beginning was the Word, Who created all things, and saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:1, John 1:1-3)   God Himself is the ultimate reality, and the Bible is the sole source of Absolute Truth. (2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21)   It is God who continues to sustain and uphold the creation, and everything in the universe revolves around the person of God. Education is the search for Ultimate Truth and begins with an understanding that God is the Creator and central unifying figure of all that exists. (Col. 1:16-18)  The knowledge of God is plain to all men, because God has made himself plainly known in creation. (Romans 1:19, 20)  God is also personal, relational, and loving; He came as a man (John 1:14) to redeem lost mankind. (Luke 19:10)  Faith in God’s redeeming plan through Jesus Christ is essential to our full purpose in life and eternity. (John 14:6, John 3:16)    Every individual is called to know Him and to carry out His Will for his life. (Eccl. 12:13)  Education prepares a person to fulfill this responsibility to God. (John 17:3)

Christian education is a commitment to the whole person. It develops students’ understanding and growth in wisdom, equipping them to transform abstract knowledge into convictions, and reveal Christian character in their service. (James 1:22, 1 John 5:13)  Its goal is to produce students of intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual strength and distinction, governed by godly principles, wisely engaging every field of study and the world around them from God’s perspective. (Ephesians 2:10)

The curriculum at Sahel Academy reflects a biblical and multinational perspective which is Christ-centered, fulfilling rigorous international academic requirements and providing learning experiences that take into account the various individual and cultural learning styles, skills and abilities of students. (Colossians 3:16)

In daily school activities students are challenged to develop their personal faith in Jesus Christ so that they may grow in understanding of themselves, other people, and the world, thus living balanced lives, developing skills of leadership and service girded by personal worth, dignity, humility and self control. (Philippians 3:12-14, 4:8-9)
