Special Character
Special Character definition
We believe in developing a servant heart in every student. Through purposeful opportunities in leadership, service and missions, our students learn to put others first and use their talents for God’s glory.
From the Primary and Secondary Student Councils to our Tribe (house) leadership program, from older students mentoring younger buddies to community service projects – there are countless ways to serve at CCS. We encourage you to read more in the Discover section (under “Our People” and “Our Community”) about how we cultivate leadership and service.
The School reflects this by:
- using the Bible as the basis for exploring God’s world, and as a standard against which to compare and interpret all curriculum material.
- [daily] teaching of Christian values and behaviour through the process of acknowledgement of sin, repentance, and accepting Jesus’ gift of grace.
- using [daily] prayer as a key tool in learning, inviting the Holy Spirit into every learning situation.
- encouraging each student to give of their best because God creates and equips each person for their unique role in His service, and acknowledging achievement in accordance with the student’s effort.
- inextricably integrating knowledge of the world and Christian beliefs, through an integrated approach of an appropriate Christian curriculum and developed programme plans.
- acting as a continuum and extension of the teaching provided in Christian homes.
- providing an environment where children, parents, and teachers can experience Godly relationships, showing the character of Christ in love, discipline, respect, honour and trust, and witness and exemplary demonstration of Biblical truths in the lives of others.
The Christian Special Character of the school is determined by the faith system made up of the Christian beliefs, Biblical values and lifestyle as determined by the Trustees of the Cornerstone Christian Education Trust.
