Welcome to the Chisago Lakes Baptist School Web site!
Our philosophy of education is based on the following:
Wisdom and knowledge comes from God, therefore man’s education is complete only when God and His Word are the center of all learning (Proverbs 1:7). In education we are concerned with the total person: his/her intellectual, spiritual, physical and social being. We believe the needs of the total person can only be met as approached from a Christian or Biblical philosophy.
The Student
- Created by God and in His image, he/she is of inestimable worth, possessing an eternal soul that shall either inherit everlasting life or everlasting damnation.
- Because of sin, he/she is unable to reach God. His/her nature is totally depraved and foolishness is bound in his/her heart (Proverbs 22:15).
- Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way of establishing a right relationship with God. Reality in life’s purposes and values can be ascertained in and through Christ alone.
The Curriculum
- God is the source of all wisdom and He has revealed Himself specifically in the Bible – thus God’s Word is the basis of all our studies and should be correlated with all experiences that the child has under the auspices of the school.
- Christian education should aspire to train a child in such a way that he/she will have a sound, practical working knowledge of the Word of God and be able to evaluate every circumstance of life from a Christian viewpoint.
- The home and church being ordained of God and being charged with the responsibility of training and teaching (Deut. 6:6) should work together with the Christian school in promoting the student’s growth.
The Teacher
- The teacher in the Christian school must of necessity give evidence of knowing Christ as personal Savior.
- He/she must be wholly committed to following and obeying Christ, thus being wholly committed to a life of service to man for Christ’s sake.
- He/she should possess academic and professional learning necessary to perform his/her task.
My prayer is that as you look at our website, you will see a difference in our school. As you read and pray, may God grant wisdom. If we can be a help in any way, or would like a tour of our school, please do not hesitate to email jerryschwenke@clbspatriots.org or call (651) 257-4587. We will count it a privilege to serve you.
Sincerely in Christ,
