one’s worldview and is often contrary to a worldview that excludes Christ. Provide students an appropriate place

and social context, which promotes education in the academic disciplines, development of physical and artistic skills,

and healthy personal interaction. Teach students an understanding of the Christian Scriptures, which is consistent

with the creeds and confessions of the Reformed tradition. Impress on students through expectation and example
