Academic Foundations
Our goal is that all of our students receive a solid education, equipping them for success now and in the future. For this reason, we focus on providing a well-balanced learning program fostering enthusiasm and confidence in our students. We work at instilling a love of learning that will remain for a lifetime.
As a Christian school, these academic goals are met in the context of our Christian faith. All subjects are taught through the lens of our Christian world view. Our school meets the educational outcomes set by Alberta Learning and uses approved materials and resources to guide the learning process. Preparing our students for success involves not only teaching the knowledge and skills required, but also encouraging Godly values and attitudes which lead to intelligence, competence, wisdom, and leadership.Knowledge Every subject has a set of facts and information which is taught, learned and remembered while also being placed into useful context.
Skills Knowledge is applied to real world situations where problems are solved. Students also develop interpersonal skills which help them live in community with others.
Values guide actions. At Faith, these are some of the values which are taught and practiced:
• Respect for God and His Word and respect for people
• Responsibility for actions and for age-appropriate tasks
• Caring for other people
• Social responsibility as people learn how to make the world a better place
• Integrity as students learn to stand up for their convictions
• Honesty as students learn to value their word and act accordingly
• Godly lifestyle - valuing good health and Godly attitudesAttitudes Our hope and prayer is that students will develop a positive, fulfilling approach to life through the application of these and other positive attitudes:
• Joyfulness in knowing God's hand guides all of life
• Selflessness - considering other people and their needs
• Perseverance - hard work helps achieve goals
